United as one powerful force, Waterkeeper Alliance fights for everyone's right to drinkable, fishable, swimmable water.
Über uns
The Waterkeeper movement was started by a band of blue-collar fishermen on New York’s Hudson River in 1966. Their tough, grassroots brand of environmental activism sparked the river’s miraculous recovery and inspired others to launch local Waterkeeper groups around the world. Today, Waterkeeper Alliance unites more than 300 Waterkeeper Organizations and Affiliates that are on the frontlines of the global water crisis, patrolling and protecting more than 2.5 million square miles of rivers, lakes and coastal waterways on six continents. Waterkeeper Organizations and Affiliates defend the fundamental human right to drinkable, fishable, and swimmable waters from the Great Lakes to the Himalayas, and combine firsthand knowledge of their waterways with an unwavering commitment to the rights of their communities. Whether they’re on the water tracking down polluters, in courtrooms enforcing environmental laws, advocating in town meetings or teaching in classrooms, the Waterkeeper movement speaks for the waters it defends with the backing of local communities. Waterkeeper Alliance ensures that the world’s Waterkeeper Organizations and Affiliates are as connected to each other as they are to their local waters, organizing the fight for clean water into a coordinated global movement.

A pervasive and dangerous chemical known as 6PPD has been used to manufacture tires for decades. Unfortunately, it can be particularly devastating on marine ecosystems, and is believed to be the second-most toxic chemical for aquatic species ever evaluated. That is why we are urging Congress to take action today. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eYmhSbYX

Thank you Senator Merkley and Senator Mullin for working to elevate the issue of #6PPD/6PPD-q, a chemical commonly found in tires that gets into our waterways through stormwater runoff. Waterkeeper Alliance and 30 Waterkeeper groups sent a letter to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works to raise concerns about one of the most potent aquatic toxicants ever seen! Today at 2:30 pm/EST the Committee will hold a hearing to examine the dangerous impacts of this toxic contamination on our environment. We urge our leaders in Congress to act with urgency and eliminate 6PPD from future tire production. The health of our ecosystems and communities depends on it.
