TAKE ACTION: Tell the California legislature you want safe and affordable drinking water for all Californians.

More than 300 communities and one million Californians are exposed to unsafe drinking water from the taps in their homes, schools, and communities each year. This crisis has gone on for too long. This is a statewide public health crisis, impacting communities across the state, including Los Angeles. For our health and our children's safety, California needs to create a Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund.

Public water systems not meeting federal or state drinking water standards as of May 9, 2018 are marked with a red star. See more information here.

Governor Brown and lawmakers have introduced bipartisan consensus
legislation (SB 844 and SB 845) to solve California’s long-standing drinking water crisis. The legislation builds upon the original proposal for a Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund, with changes made to ensure broad support and effective implementation – because California families with toxic water cannot afford to wait any longer. Take action now to tell your state legislators to support SB 844 and SB 845! See more information here.

This solution would provide an ongoing source of funding to ensure all Californians have access to safe and affordable drinking water. More than 140 organizations support this solution, including:

Polling shows that more than two-thirds of Californians support this type of solution to our drinking water crisis. Editorial boards at the Sacramento Bee, the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle also urge legislators to support!

Support Safe Water for All: I want you to support a Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund

Dear Legislator,

I live in your district, and I am deeply concerned that my fellow Californians do not have access to safe and affordable drinking water. More than 300 communities and a million Californians lack access to this basic human right. Some families are paying as much as 10 percent of their monthly income for drinking water.

The Governor's proposed budget invests in creating a Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. We urge you to support this effort to finally make safe and affordable drinking water a reality for our fellow Californians.

Governor Brown and lawmakers have introduced bipartisan consensus legislation (SB 844 and SB 845) to solve California’s long-standing drinking water crisis. The legislation builds upon
the original proposal for a Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund, with changes made to
ensure broad support and effective implementation – because California families with toxic
water cannot afford to wait any longer.

This solution is supported by a broad and diverse group of more than 140 organizations.

I strongly support a Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund, and recent polling shows that I am not alone — more than two-thirds of Californians approve of this approach.

Please support SB 844 and SB 845! In the sixth largest economy in the world, we can and must ensure that all Californians have access to safe and affordable drinking water.

Regards, Your Name
