John –

Republicans in Congress just introduced the resolution that would repeal the Lead Out of Water Rule. This starts the countdown clock on the limited timeframe when they can repeal this Biden-era rule, so we need to make sure our representatives – Democratic and Republican – do the right thing and vote to keep our families safe from lead in our water.

Demand that your members of Congress vote to keep lead OUT of our water and oppose H.J. 44!

Together, we can stop this blatant attack on safe water. See my original email below with more background and contact your representatives today!

John,

There is no safe level of lead in drinking water — it’s especially dangerous for children — yet millions of families across the country are exposed to lead in their water every single day.

Now, with the Trump Administration underway, Republican leaders in Congress are moving their priorities forward, including a resolution to repeal a critical rule that will protect communities from toxic lead water pipes. They have just 60 days to pass it through both houses of Congress — with enough pressure now, we can stop this from happening.

Send a message to your members of Congress to demand that they reject any resolution to revoke the Lead out of Water Rule!

Lead harms every major system of the human body – and infants and young children are especially vulnerable. Exposure can lead to developmental disorders, damage to the nervous system and blood cells, and more. Lead service lines are the main source of lead in drinking water, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 9 million homes are still served through these lead lines.

Under the Biden Administration, the EPA adopted the historic Lead out of Water Rule (called the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements) that requires the replacement of lead service lines in most communities over the next decade — protecting millions of families from lead exposure through their drinking water.

Yet despite this critical, commonsense measure, Republicans in Congress have made it a top priority to repeal this rule and keep poisoning families with lead. And they’ve wasted no time — already introducing a resolution (H.J Res 18) to undo the Lead Out of Water Rule. They will likely reintroduce a similar measure and move it rapidly through Congress.

But — with a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives, Republicans will need every vote to get this done. We know that if we raise enough public outrage, we can stop this resolution and protect children and families across the country.

Your members of Congress need to hear from you! Send your message to protect the Lead Out of Water Rule!

Instead of prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires and huge corporations, we need our representatives in Congress to prioritize safe water for all — and to reject attempts to weaken water safety regulations.

Onward together,
