Recent changes to the federal definition of "harm" within the Endangered Species Act have left countless species and their habitats vulnerable. It's built upon the premise that a species can survive without its habitat. Not only is this in conflict with how the law has defined harm for decades, it is in conflict with basic common sense. The good news is Congress is currently considering bills that would reverse this disastrous rule, and restore protection that has existed under the law. Will you take a moment to urge Congress to protect endangered species and their habitats?waterkeeper.quorum.us/campai…

Data centers are expanding rapidly across the U.S., and cases involving wastewater pollution, permit violations, and contaminants—from rare bacteria to “forever chemicals”—are raising alarm about their impacts on water and communities. Thank you to @olliemilman @GuardianUS for highlighting these concerns and the work of Waterkeeper Alliance and Waterkeeper groups to track data center impacts and push for accountability.

EPA’s proposed plan to redefine what qualifies as 'waters of the United States' is the most consequential attack on clean water since the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972. The public comment period is now open. We have 30 days. Let’s make some noise. Read our statement and learn more about what’s at stake: bit.ly/46O4ZM1 Then tell EPA what you think about it: bit.ly/46b8hc3
