Please take a moment to tell Gov. Newsom to sign AB 823 (@asmtasha.bsky.social) and ban plastic microbeads in cleaning and cosmetic products. We, along with Californians Against Waste, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, and 5 Gyres thank you. act.cleanwater.org/page/168134/...

Thank you to our colleagues in Minnesota for supporting our efforts to pass SB 682 (Senator Ben Allen) in California and for asking Governor Newsom (@gavinnewsom.bsky.social) to sign the bill.

The Board Members of the SWRCB have voted unanimously to NOT put the Kern County Subbasin in Probation, and instead move the Subbasin back under DWR review. We are disappointed by this decision, but we will continue to work to uplift Kern Community voices and uphold the Human Right to Water in CA.

Laurel Firestone, State Water Board Member, during the 9/17/25 Kern Probationary Hearing: "I really encourage the [Kern] Subbasin to look for ways they can help create structures that provide public spaces for people to engage on basin wide issues. Create more mechanisms that allow for that."

Rich celebrity chefs don't want Gov. Newsom to sign SB 682 (Allen) into law and protect your from personal exposure to PFAS and the costs of getting the chemicals out of your water. Call the Governor today [415] 445-2841 and tell him to sign SB 682 quickly

Clean Water Action is proud to be a sponsor of Senator Ben Allen's bill, along with our friends at NRDC, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, the California Assoc. of Sanitation Agencies, and Environmental Working Group

"But fluoropolymers like PTFE do release PFAS throughout their life cycle of manufacturing, use and disposal, said Jamie DeWitt, professor in environmental and molecular toxicology at Oregon State University." Read the full article here: tinyurl.com/NYT-Cookware

It is absolutely essential that the state Legislature keep its promises to amend this harmful bill. Housing next to polluting industries and in a state without wildlife and a healthy environment is not an answer.

by a 5-1 vote, the Oxnard City Council passed a resolution in support of the California Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act (AB 1243/SB 684). Oxnard is the largest city in Ventura County to pass a resolution in support of the Superfund www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/09/03/o...

As the various quotes in this article demonstrates, there are myriad reasons to ban microplastics in cleaners and cosmetics. mavensnotebook.com/2025/09/04/p...

AB 823 is headed to the Governor's desk! With AB 823, we’re taking meaningful action to protect Californians by phasing out harmful microplastics in everyday products. Thank you, 5 Gyres, Clean Water Action California, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, and Californians Against Waste!

Let’s get #PFAS out of our food @rachaelray. Let’s work together to protect our families.

PFAS coatings from cookware manufacturing can contaminate water & workers. CA has already spent $500M+ cleaning it up. #SB682 prevents more harm!

Clean Water Action's Julie Wedge was in Sacramento today to join the call of SB 54 to be implemented so that we ratchet down on plastic pollution and hold polluters accountable.

Last week, the Trump administration announced a rollback of PFAS drinking water standards. Today AB 794(Gabriel), which would reinstate those standards, moved out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Thank you Chair Wicks and Assembly member Gabriel!
