The Flint water crisis "could have been averted if the nation had invested more in infrastructure in the past." Investing in safe water infrastructure can reduce public health crises, which is why we need comprehensive legislation, like the WATER Act! npr.org/2021/05/25/997671845…

There is no safe level of lead, but millions of lead service lines bring water to communities nationwide. As @FrankPallone & @EnergyCommerce hear several bipartisan bills to #ProtectCleanWater, replacing these lines is MUST be a priority. #BuildBackBetter

ALT Girl drinking water. Our health depends on clean safe water. Our water depends on our infrastructure.

"As human beings, we must remember the sanctity of water as a universal right and, as an empowered citizenry, seek to protect it."
Great op-ed on the need for the Water-for-All ordinance to be passed in Chicago:

BREAKING: Water Protectors blockade Line 3 construction ahead of full-scale assault on Minnesota waterways. Today, water protectors locked to each other through the treads of excavators tearing through the Earth for the construction of the Line 3 tar sands pipeline. #StopLine3
No more fossil fuel infrastructure can be built out at this point in the climate crisis.

congrats to our comrades in New York for this huge success! an important part of a green future is publicly owned power. when people are at the table making decisions for their own future, decarbonization goals can be set that are equitable and just, not based in a profit motive
I am BEYOND excited to announce our report w @cpluscp & @democracycollab on how a new era of #PublicPower in New York could jumpstart a rapid, equitable, and 100% renewable energy transition! democracycollaborative.org/a…

One of the organizations ComEd donates money from our bills to is the Chicago Police Foundation! We need to #DemocratizeComEd so ratepayers' money goes back to our communities, not to ComEd's influence campaign and racist institutions. xitter.cf/DemComEd/status/130550…
Did you know @ComEd backs the Chicago Police Foundation, which raises money for CPD outside its $1.8B budget and away from public oversight?
@ComEd funds racist policing & builds their power with money from our bills.
Enough is enough. @ComEd must #StopPoweringPolice. (1/16)

.@illinoispirg reports that in 2020, ComEd charged its customers more than $7.7 million to cover charitable contributions. ComEd doesn't give to charity out of the goodness of their hearts—they do it to fund their clout, and we pay for it. bit.ly/3ys02WR
