🚨 The government shutdown won’t only negatively affect people in DC, it’ll also devastate California water…

At a press conference, the CA Department of Water Resources left a lot unsaid, and with California’s rainy season running from October to April, what’s next?

💰🚫 California’s Delta Conveyance Project ignores California’s cost-of-living crisis. Dr. Jeff Michael provides key info on how the Dept. of Water Resources’ assumptions about growth and housing capacity in Southern California are inflated and unreliable...

🤔 Did you know California now has the highest poverty rate in the nation, tied with Louisiana, according to @theguardian.com?

And yet with 7 million Californians unable to afford basic needs, the state is still pushing for the Delta Tunnel, a 45-mile, $60-100 billion project...

Celebrating #CaliforniaNativeAmericanDay! Today is a day to honor California’s Indigenous people and learn about Native American culture throughout history. We are incredibly grateful to work alongside tribes throughout the Delta that continue to guide our work and advocacy.

🚨 Delta Communities, Tribes, and Advocates Defeat Newsom’s Delta Trailer Bills!

With support from legislative leaders, we were able to stop Gov. Newsom’s trailer bills that threatened the Bay-Delta estuary, Tribal sovereignty, and clean water.

🌊💪 YOU DID IT! Because of your calls, emails, rallies, and signs, we stopped ALL the Delta trailer bills!

With the support of over 50 Tribes, environmental justice, and Delta community organizations, the legislature listened and took action. We thank all of our supporters for your nonstop support!

#ICYMI: “Father Knows Best” isn’t a water policy for California’s future

Pieces in Maven's Notebook & the Sacramento News & Review shine a light on how California’s water future cannot be dictated by costly tunnel projects and rushed legislation.
