Republican cuts to water infrastructure will take over $7 million from projects across Connecticut that keep our water safe by removing lead piping & other dangerous chemicals.

Every American should have access to clean water.

Women have less rights than they did just a few years ago because of Roe’s repeal.

Republicans want to go even further.

On this Dobbs anniversary, we all must recommit to reproductive freedom. Women should be able to control their own bodies.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” lands a $1 billion tax break for Big Oil as EPA staff are told to “pause” oil and gas enforcement.
Broadcast networks should give the scandal the attention it deserves.
TV news barely covered Trump's Big Oil "quid pro quo" last year. Now that it's come to fruition, networks should give the scandal the attention it deserves.

"It’s outrageous that local residents, who’ve already endured thousands of tons of illegal toxic emissions, are being asked to accept even more pollution — while EES Coke continues trying to dodge accountability," Bryan Smigielski of @sierraclub.org said.

The U.S. EPA is suing EES Coke Battery for Clean Air Act violations. The state found more violations in November. Now EES seeks an OK to pollute more.

If there is a politician, org, or media outlet doing something you like right now - whether it's a filibuster, mobilizing protests filing lawsuits, writing stories, or (ahem) recruiting local candidates - say thank you with your $$. The way we get more of the good stuff is by funding it.

Boston is home to 47 miles of coastline.

We need to invest in protecting our coast from the effects of climate change and creating more jobs for Boston's working families.

That's why we're launching the Greater Boston Climate and Coastal Resilience Workforce Alliance with $9.8M from NOAA. (1/4)
