The Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency Supreme Court ruling eviscerated the Clean Water Act and removed protections for over 118 million acres of wetlands and a staggering but yet-to-be-determined number of streams. It dealt a significant blow to water everywhere, and to an important environmental safeguard. Join us in the fight to defend our waters and preserve our ecosystems. Together, we can make a difference.
Despite the challenges posed by the Sackett decision, there is cause for hope as advocates across the country rally to defend our waters. In states like Colorado, Illinois, and New Mexico, grassroots coalitions are making strides in advancing wetland protections through legislative action and community engagement.
However, challenges persist as states like North Carolina and Indiana enact legislation that weakens water protections, and legal battles over water rights continue in places like Georgia. Moreover, industries are exploiting the Sackett ruling to pollute and destroy wetlands for profit, underscoring the urgency of our advocacy efforts.
Despite these obstacles, public support for water protection remains strong. Most of the country has a favorable opinion of the Clean Water Act, and ninety-four percent of people say that protecting the water in our nation’s lakes, streams, and rivers is important. This widespread support underscores the opportunity for progress and mobilization.
Congress, having the people’s backing, needs to address the legal ramifications of the Sackett decision, and must enact meaningful reforms to protect our waters. With unwavering commitment and grassroots advocacy, we can secure a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come.
