Tell your U.S. Rep and Senators: Vote NO on the Anti-Clean Water Bill
For over 50 years, the Clean Water Act has contributed to restoring the health of lakes and rivers by reducing pollution. Next week, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a package of bills known as the PERMIT Act that undermines the Clean Water Act. These bills put polluter profits ahead of reducing water pollution and protecting health and the environment. Use this form to quickly send a personalized message to your U.S. Representative and Senators and ask them to vote NO on the anti-clean water package or PERMIT Act to protect clean water.
