The issue of drinking water has never been more urgent.

Happy Wednesday, folks!  This week, the team recaps the recent drinking water conference in San Antonio that Nicole Hill attended.

With affordability at an all-time low and a looming global water crisis, many are left wondering how we can secure safe and accessible drinking water for all.

Discover how data centers affect local communities, from rising utility costs to environmental concerns.

Happy Monday, folks. We hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day weekend.  Last week, the team talked about recent  #Michigan wins and future actions! As utility rates soar, it's ironic that corporations aren't feeling the pinch—residents are! This is a triple whammy: pollution, rising costs, and resource depletion. And while we struggle, these data centers are draining the very water we need to survive.  But please remember, when we organize, we win! Keep pushing for local action and stay informed. Together, we can make a difference!  #PeopleWaterBoard #DataCenterResistance #ActivismMatters #CommunityPower #WaterCrisis #waterislife #waterisahumanright

As climate change escalates, the most vulnerable communities, especially Indigenous populations.

This week, the team talks about the Colorado River and the state of water bankruptcy. This is affecting not just your tap water but also energy supplies for millions. This crisis is worsening each day, and emergency measures are just temporary fixes. As climate change escalates, the most vulnerable communities, especially Indigenous populations, are hit hardest.  We also want to remind you all of #mayday [https://www.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/mayday/?__cft__[0]=AZYgMiSd7E0EeGrHPu8B6G-sSCoWi9xUsrXhss8aRtfyLaRZpDwQWdwwvq5GyW992AmbfC8rDlJ9b0X8DSlfK9DjiBBwD5RILDgzeC5ge_SgHRUMrHlXqDvSAKJhce7LOR7R9Ziuu6tfk64h-nCuU9hLpnwCZBjkqPYaGfrxZFiVZjtbQj90JROLtj7fG1XzlD4ZfXmY1tS2297NLrnk-3Gr&__tn__=*NK-R] tomorrow.

In Michigan, those in poverty pay $9 more than those who are not in poverty.

Happy Earth Day, Folks! We hope you all are outside, and enjoying this beautiful day in nature. Today, the team talks about the University of Michigan's statewide water affordability assessment form. We break down what this means for Michigan residents' wallets over the years.  We have also linked #earthday2026 below. Please check out this week's activities in your area.
