A Citizen's Guide to Responding to Contaminated Drinking Water
by Environmental Advocates of New York
This toolkit will focus on the threat of water pollution across New York - providing background on how our water is regulated and what chemicals are of particular concern, drawing from examples of current water contamination crises across the state. The toolkit will offer advice for people interested in taking action on community organizing, raising visibility on a specific issue, and contacting elected officials and government agencies. This toolkit was underwritten by a gift from the AAA-ICDR Foundation.
