After receiving 135,000 public comments in opposition to the Ambler Road in the southern Brooks Range of Alaska, a stop has been issued to the mining road that would threaten clean air and water, subsistence resources, and the cultural heritage of Alaska Native communities.
BUT, a senator is attempting to reverse that decision by inserting an amendment into the National Defense Authorization Act, forcing the approval of the Ambler Road Access Project.
You can help by signing this petition opposing Senator Sullivan's amendment at pat.ag/T/NoAmblerRoad
In some areas of the U.S., water bills have increased by 40% since 2010. Take Michigan as an example. Michiganders pay some of the highest water bills in the country. Some families pay as much as 25% of their monthly income on water alone.
When people can't keep up, their water is shut off, they slip further into debt, and regaining access to water can become ever more difficult. Sign this petition and help 'Water Equals Life' advocate for a lasting policy to end water shutoffs and ensure no family ever receives a water bill beyond their means.
