🔥 Megafires are more than a fire crisis—they can also trigger a water crisis.
A hotter, drier climate means fires burn larger, polluting drinking water supplies. Communities across the West have faced this firsthand. Swipe to learn more about the #LAFires from the #WECRCaucus➡️

[Water Hub @water_hub]

💰Let’s close the water affordability gap: per a new EPA report, the U.S. needs to invest $8.8 billion a year for families to have permanent relief from high water costs. We can solve the water crisis together!

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.

The U.S. is in a water affordability crisis. 1 in 3 say they struggle to pay their water bill on time, risking access to #SafeAffordableWater. Congress must pass the H2O UP Act of 2024. Thank you @RepRashida and @RepDebDingell for leading the way! https://t.co/CcubGV3UIX

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

We might not agree on the exact path forward, but I think we can all get behind holistic efforts to address water access and affordability - for both communities/utilitrs and households struggling to pay the bills.

Appreciate @RepRashida and @RepDebDingell leading the way!

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

We all know that water is life. Safe, accessible, affordable drinking water is a human right. We’re introducing the H2O UP Act to establish a permanent Low-Income Drinking Water Assistance Program within the Environmental Protection Agency.

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

Proud to support the #WECRCaucus pushing water affordability to national importance. This issue affects people living in cities and rural areas communities alike and needs a national spotlight and solution. Progress is possible - even in a shifting political environment.

@EAKoebele @awhager @SNWA_H2O Yea that makes sense. Thanks, Elizabeth!

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

@EAKoebele @awhager @SNWA_H2O We need a part 2! Nothing unites diverse interests like getting together to advocate for funding, right?

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

@EAKoebele @awhager @SNWA_H2O Very much appreciate the perspective. One thing the article doesn’t get into @awhager that I’m wondering about (and if sources have brought it up) is how big federal spending has helped grease the wheels to get big cuts lately. Will that well dry up, so to speak, or not?

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

@danvock @routefifty So sorry, Dan, your work making the real world impact of infrastructure policy has been so important

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

@chris_teale I’m so sorry

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

@yessfun @sejorg Think your link got broken here. Excellent write up!

Yes please. I’m being sued for $4M by Mountain Valley Pipeline company in Virginia — alongside dozens of grandmas, college kids, people who protested destruction & stood up for life.

Meanwhile, hurricanes, wildfires, mudslides, droughts, flooding, all of it rages on.

Detroiters are subsidizing a regional water system and the DDA. Detroiters aren’t benefiting from development, but millionaires & billionaires are benefiting like “fat cats”! When we raise these concerns the community is accused of “not wanting progress “!

Shame on @Muhlenberg. These are not the values of the alma mater I remember and I am sick to my stomach this professor was fired. @MuhlenbergAlum

[Inside Higher Ed @insidehighered]

ICYMI | In January of this year, Maura Finkelstein, a tenured associate professor at @Muhlenberg College, temporarily reposted on Instagram a statement from a Palestinian American poet. Months later, a faculty and staff committee recommended firing her over that post, she said.

“Do not cower to Zionists,” the post read, according to Finkelstein. “Shame them. Do not welcome them in your spaces. Do not make them feel comfortable. Why should those genocide-loving fascists be treated any different than any other flat-out racist. Don’t normalize Zionism. Don’t normalize Zionists taking up space.”

A week after that post, the college suspended Finkelstein from campus and teaching amid alleged student complaints about an Oct. 12 class discussion and the Instagram repost, according to Anita Levy, a senior program officer in the @AAUP’s Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure and Governance, who’s advocating for Finkelstein.

@LukeRunyon @ColoradoSun @awhager @heather_sackett @jerd_smith @ShannonMullane Looking forward to this!

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

@EAKoebele @usgcrp Congrats!

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

@mollytaft Yea true. My colleague @jewellcatalina works with creators more than me but her read is that, like journalism, most of them really don’t get paid very much either, with some obvious exceptions.

This month’s newsletter includes plugs for @MaryHeglar’s beautiful novel, Troubled Waters and @NicoleKelner’s Arts & Climate substack!

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

One of my favorite @water_hub traditions is how we share the ✍🏼 drafting our monthly-ish newsletter. I was on tap today and reflected on my time at Equity Summit with the #WECRCaucus.

[Sarah Bucci @bucci_co]

The share outs are strategic but also literally what we’re reading and listening to! It’s a good read every 6 weeks or so if I do say so myself. Plugging!
