We were ready then.
We are ready now.

Restore the funding. Deliver on the promise: clean air, land, and water.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about people.

Across the country, community groups, faith leaders, nonprofits, tribal partners, local governments, and educational institutions stand ready to deliver safer water, cleaner air, healthier communities, local jobs, and weather-ready infrastructure. These projects aren’t ideas—they were approved, reviewed, and set to launch. Then the funding was frozen, blocked, and now stripped from communities.

More than 800 projects and over $1.5 billion of federal investment in local and regional projects sit in limbo.

But communities haven’t given up. They’re still ready. They’re still here. And they’re calling for action.
