🗞 BIG NEWS 🗞 We’re officially launching our campaign to stop new data centers! With huge effects on our climate, water, energy bills and more, it’s time to put the brakes on the unregulated data center frenzy until we better understand the impacts: https://fwwat.ch/4tbANoj

📋 SURVEY 📋 We want to hear from you: What concerns you most about data centers? Take our quick quiz and share your thoughts!

ICE is a brutal and lawless agency and we strongly condemn the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE. Trump, Miller, Noem and their cronies have been using ICE to terrorize communities and break up families. The ICE agents responsible must be brought to justice and ICE should be dismantled.

The AI industry claims that their data centers are creating large numbers of jobs. Our research shows that these claims are false. Read more here, and join us in calling for a halt to new AI data centers:

BREAKING: We're proud to join 230+ groups to call on Congress to stop the approval and construction of new data centers. With huge impacts on water, climate, electricity bills and more, it's time to put the brakes on the unregulated data center frenzy: https://fwwat.ch/44bzr1R

🥳 VICTORY 🥳 We’re celebrating a HUGE win in stopping microplastics 🚰 Together with our allies and volunteers, we pushed seven governors to submit a petition to the EPA demanding it monitor for microplastics in our drinking water!

UPDATE: We’re just a few donors away from unlocking $10,000 in match funds, which we’ll use to take Trump to court to keep factory farm pollution out of our waterways. Join us by making your gift before MIDNIGHT tonight: https://fwwat.ch/EOY2025

⚠️ URGENT ⚠️ We’re taking Trump to court – and we need all hands on deck. If you’re one of 100 people who donate now, you’ll help unlock a $10,000 match to stop factory farm water pollution! But hurry – the match is only available for 48 HOURS: https://fwwat.ch/EOY2025

Yes Dodgers! No ICE! sign.moveon.org/petitions/we...

BIG NEWS: We’re calling for a nationwide moratorium on new data centers. These facilities increase energy costs, consume huge amounts of water and expand dirty energy. To protect communities, we need to halt unregulated approval and construction until we know the risks. More here: fwwat.ch/49ogtrY

It's the #TrumpShutdown www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/10/01/t...

Some good news on this Wednesday night 👇🥳 THANK YOU to @delauro.house.gov and @murray.senate.gov for introducing this bill!

We bought a very large watermelon 🍉 Espresso cup shown for scale 😄

Chicago is an awesome city...case in point being the Franz West sculptures currently in Millennium Park. ❤️ #franzwest #ilovechicago

Greetings from Florence, where we are trying our darndest to avoid the news etc ☕️ ❤️

BREAKING: In a BIG win for New Yorkers, the @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social just voted to repeal the outdated 100-foot rule – which forced customers to subsidize costly gas hookups for new customers. Even with Trump in office, we’re winning at the state and local levels!

Meanwhile, atmospheric CO2 levels averaged during May 2025 rose to a record high 430.5 ppm, 3.6 ppm higher than they were in May 2024 (426.9 ppm) gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

Just to be clear, anyone proposing new small or large nuclear reactors for any purpose is either not the sharpest tool in the shed or has a financial interest in it.

Schumer's got to go and new leadership is needed now. www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/03/17/c...

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Senate just passed the dirty Republican spending bill, giving Musk and Trump free rein to dismantle, loot and privatize critical programs that protect our food, water, health and climate.

There’s still time, regardless of what Sen Schumer wants to do: call your senator and tell them to stand up and block the dirty House spending bill. 1-877-247-1820

No fight. No strategy. No leadership. Call your senator and tell them to block the House spending bill, even if Minority Leader Schumer won’t. 1-877-247-1820

📱 CALLS NEEDED 📱 NOW is the time to call your Senators and urge them to filibuster to block the dirty House spending bill, which cuts funding for safe food and clean water programs.

Stop Schumer’s dirty deal. Call your senator now! Tell them to filibuster the House spending bill. 1-877-247-1820 More info here: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-k...

Some government waste to cut right here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

"For several weeks, most congressional Democrats are operating as if it’s business as usual. It’s become clear that it’s up to us to push our leaders to defend our food, water, climate and democracy." www.commondreams.org/opinion/the-...

This morning, our Executive Director Wenonah Hauter joined AFGE and our allies in the labor movement in DC for a rally to save our civil services 💪 Trump and Musk are attempting to illegally dismantle federal agencies – and NOW is the time to oppose their dangerous actions!

🚨NEWS: Trump is firing specific inspectors general whose offices have investigated Elon Musk’s companies and their business matters with the government. Inspectors general are independent nonpartisan appointees who audit spending and investigate fraud.

We're not exactly surprised by racist corruption from this administration, but laying off environmental justice workers is saying the quiet part *especially* loudly.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

The Musk-Trump agenda is clear: break the government, loot it, and privatize it. Remember - "the government" is medicare, medicaid, school lunches, national parks, clean drinking water, food safety inspections, and more!

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

"Trump’s abhorrent disregard for basic food and water safety will kill people – plain and simple." @foodandwater.bsky.social www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/01/28/t...

December 17, 2014: New York State bans fracking! Happy ten-year anniversary to a great keep-it-in-the-ground victory! Honored to have helped bring the science to the movement that defeated the plans of the gas industry. Here’s the story of how we did it: act.foodandwaterwatch.org/page/73770/s...

No issue more strongly illustrates Newsom’s allegiance to the utility industry than the ongoing saga of Aliso Canyon. www.commondreams.org/opinion/news...

In today’s @latimes.com print edition: My column on Gavin Newsom’s continued failure to close the Aliso Canyon gas storage field, 9 years after a record-breaking methane leak — or even acknowledge his long-ago promise to try to shut it down before 2027: www.latimes.com/environment/...

If @gavinnewsom.bsky.social wants to be a national climate leader, he needs to follow through on his promises and stop doing the bidding of big utility interests. This starts with fulfilling his promise to shut down Aliso Canyon. www.commondreams.org/opinion/news... #AlisoCanyon #ActOnClimate

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of New York's historic #fracking ban, @foodandwater.bsky.social has created a free e-book that tells the story of the campaign, how it happened, and its impact. Check it out! fwwat.ch/3OQG3KS #banfracking #climate

NY State banned fracking 10 yrs ago next week (Dec 17, 2014)! To commemorate this historic date, Food & Water Watch created a FREE eBook that looks back on the history of this victory and forward to the path ahead. Check it out here: fwwat.ch/3OQG3KS

Thanks to everyone who has posted to the CPUC Aliso docket so far to tell the commissioners to vote AGAINST keeping the hazardous Aliso Canyon facility open. You can use this link to get to the docket: bit.ly/3ZsYzhv Hopefully with hundreds of comments, the CPUC will modify its decision.
