🚨 The Supreme Court just made it harder for environmental regulators to limit water pollution. Demand Congress restore Clean Water Act protections NOW!

Here’s what happened and why it matters:

• The Court ruled in favor of San Francisco, saying the EPA’s permit system was too vague to enforce against wastewater pollution. That means cities and industries now have more leeway to pollute rivers, lakes, and coastlines without clear consequences.


• The Clean Water Act was created because of public outrage over toxic pollution in rivers like the Hudson. In 1972, Congress gave the EPA power to regulate wastewater and hold polluters accountable — leading to cleaner water across the country. This ruling could roll back decades of progress.


• Polluters are celebrating, because this ruling opens the door for even more legal challenges to environmental laws — weakening climate protections at a time when we should be strengthening them.


• This decision goes beyond major cities. It erodes protections for small towns and rural communities that rely on clean water for drinking and agriculture. The burden of pollution will hit these communities the hardest.
