So thankful that @60Minutes is covering this important story about water in Jackson and more grateful still that I could play a small part in it on behalf of @USWaterAlliance!

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

“We should all care about what's happening in Jackson, Mississippi because the truth is that aging infrastructure is impacting communities across this country, from where I live, to where you probably live,” says Emily Simonson of the U.S. Water Alliance. https://t.co/OzEMZRYTMV

I was honored to attend the 50th anniversary celebration of the Clean Water Act today in Cleveland. We’ve made a lot of great progress over these 50 years, but there’s much more to be done! Thanks @Michael_S_Regan @radhikafox for your leadership at @EPA on this journey.

@abigailgardner I wish my insomnia was as productive as yours!

[The Value of Water @TheValueofWater]

Our 8th annual #ImagineADayWithoutWater nat'l day of action is happening Oct. 20! For many Americans, living a day without H2O is a harsh reality, not something to be imagined. Together, we can achieve safe, affordable, sustainable water. For everyone. /1

[Emily Simonson @EmilySimo]

@Brooke_Givens No wonder you're an Imagine a Day Without Water rockstar! You had it in you this whole time :) So glad you're part of the @USWaterAlliance. Going to be ramping up for this year and hoping for many more artworks and actions to elevate the value of water https://t.co/IYdDyAT7zy

To make progress on some of our most complex water challenges, we must think more creatively. Learn how four utilities and four artists joined together to bring new processes and thinking on climate change and inclusion to the water sector. 💧

@USWaterAlliance @duneives @CARKW @madmetrosewer @TucsonWater @PhillyH2O @jeniegao @HediLamarr @TrapetaMayson We are just beginning to tap into arts and culture as forces for change-- and it's already powerful.

[Emily Simonson @EmilySimo]

@DrVedachalam @MPTeodoro @PeterGleick Ugh. Too many echoes of those here in the USA who I've heard say: "well, if you can afford that smart phone, you can afford your water bill." Just plain biased and uninformed

[Emily Simonson @EmilySimo]

@abigailgardner 10/10 would recommend

[Emily Simonson @EmilySimo]
