Language is a building block for transformation.
Reimagining Democracy: The Language of A Good Life explores the meanings of key ideas through words we reimagined or uncovered in the podcast series - Reimagining Democracy For a Good Life: https://t.co/u0hlG0yzRx

[PolicyLink @policylink]

Each word or idea is a touchstone that connects to how a reimagined democracy can revitalize a nation and its people. Our first idea in the series is “A good life.��� We offer these words as suggestions to explore what is possible in our collective aspirations to live a good life.

💰Let's close the water affordability gap: A new @EPA report says the U.S. needs $8.8 billion a year to make water bills affordable for struggling families. This is a solvable problem if we support bills like the H2O UP Act & AQUA Act! #SafeAffordableWater

[Paul Tonko @RepPaulTonko]

50 years ago, Congress took historic action to protect public health and improve the quality of drinking water across America.

Half a century later, that lofty but vital commitment continues with the introduction of our AQUA Act.
