Yesterday was a powerful day with over 100 residents from the San Joaquin Valley traveling to Sacramento to share their experience with unsafe water and urge legislators to support the Governor’s Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. See pictures from the day below! Thank you to everyone who took the time to raise their voices for safe water!

On May 12th, we hosted our first fundraiser in the Bay Area - “An Evening of Art of Justice.” Over 50 people joined us for this special event to learn more about California’s drinking water crisis and Community Water Center’s work.
On Friday of National Drinking Water Week, more than 60 people, including Dolores Huerta, came out to simultaneous rallies in Merced and Bakersfield to push for the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. The San Joaquin Valley is hard hit by toxic tap water, and residents spoke out for change.
Last week, we launched our second civic engagement program (CEP)! This Spring, we have the chance to connect with thousands of voters, to discuss drinking water issues and remind them to vote on June 5th.
