Milwaukee Water Commons

Support EPA Staff Now! — STAND UP FOR SCIENCE Your solidarity with the EPA heroes increases the pressure on their Administrator Lee Zeldin.

🛑 The EPA is a shield, not a weapon.

Under Lee Zeldin, it’s turning its back on us:

❌ Clean air & water rollbacks
❌ Loopholes for polluters
❌ Climate & EJ funds frozen

This isn’t leadership—it’s sabotage.

We applaud the 139 EPA staff who spoke out.

10 days after we saw Rep. Tony Wied in DC, he joined @repgwenmoore.bsky.social and Rep. Bryan Steil as a co-sponsor of the Great Lakes Restoration Act. We’re proud of bipartisan support in Wis. for the #greatlakes, public health and good jobs.

We applaud Gov. Tony Evers for his budget proposing over $300+ million to ensure safe, clean drinking water for Wisconsin families, especially our children.

Contact your state senator and representative to urge them to support clean, safe water for everyone.

Lawmakers reintroduce bill to fund Great Lakes restoration program If passed, the landmark Great Lakes funding program would get a $25 million boost from previous years.

We celebrate the introduction of the GLRI Act today, continued progress toward improving the health of our communities, access to living wage employment and restorative access to our common waters for everyone.
