Eleven minutes of water inspiration
Water is the foundation of a healthy community, access to it is limited by extreme drought.

Tucson, AZ, residents are learning from communities in India to harvest rainwater and improve health in their neighborhoods. https://t.co/XqQxAKQMJZ

@AleRigolon great learning opportunity for understanding policy change process - and operationalizing equity in policies and implementation

[Pamela Russo @pgrusso]

equitable policy implementation of park and green spaces - need CBOs and nonprofits to be equity "watchdogs" to ensure that implementation
programs reflect the justice-oriented spirit of policies

Rigorous study of association between presence of parks, green space and tree canopy with longer life expectancy in Los Angeles county
@RWJF @preventioninst

[UCLA Fielding School of Public Health @UCLAFSPH]

Would more #parks and trees help L.A. county residents live longer?

A new study from UCLA Fielding supported by @preventioninst predicts that an equitable 'greening' plan could add up to a million years in collective life expectancy.

@RWJF. Health Impact assessment, and Health in all Policies

"Water isn't a commodity to be sold to only those that can pay. It's a basic right our government must provide to all residents."
We can make progress by getting water infrastructure dollars to places with the most pressing water injustices. #WorldWaterDay

Black, brown, and low-income communities in the US are more likely to lack access to clean, affordable water, and critical infrastructure services. Accelerating a sustainable water future means we must pursue racial justice, economic equity, and implement the #HumanRightToWater.

For decades, advocates have been calling for the removal of four dams along the Klamath River—and finally, it’s happening. On this #WorldWaterDay, we celebrate all those who depend upon the river and have been fighting to save it. https://t.co/htD80mKD7q

Communities must be centered in decisions about the water systems that serve them
@LVEJO

[RWJF @RWJF]

Water is a right. #WorldWaterDay

These three lessons from our friends @LVEJO can help local organizations empower communities that have been historically excluded to advocate for their water rights. https://t.co/7kfkoSA14J

Replacing lead pipes quickly and equitably is POSSIBLE - no excuses!

[RWJF @RWJF]

Historic amounts of federal funding creates an opportunity to repair water systems quickly, efficiently and equitably.

@EPIConservation shows how far that money can go to bring clean and affordable water to all. #WorldWaterDay https://t.co/M2bkvLp29Q

The theme for World Water Day 2023 is “Accelerating Change”. It is about speeding up the progress towards achieving SDG 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030. The celebration of World Water Day 2023 coincides with the start of the UN 2023 Water Conference .

[CaritasKisumu @CaritasKisumu]

On the 22/March/2023, the UN is celebrating World Water Day. The theme for this year is about accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis.
Water affects us all, we need everyone to take action.

[Pamela Russo @pgrusso]

Over 2 million Americans live without running water or a flush toilet . DigDeep research that this costs the US economy over $8.5 billion every year --and every $1 invested yields a nearly 5x societal return. see report at https://t.co/igMcGQ5nx4

Clean Water State Revolving Funds enable municipalities improve wastewater treatment, manage storm water and decrease flooding, prevent pollution of drinking water, protect estuaries, and create green infrastructure. Better policies ensure these funds reach neediest
@RWJF
