One signature stands between the Mohawk River and stronger, long-term protections. ✍️ Send the Governor a message and urge her to sign the Mohawk River Basin Management Act into law. Take Action: https://ow.ly/e0pE50ZwNFB #protectthemohawk #mohawkriver

The Mohawk River Basin Management Act passed the New York State Legislature — a major win for the Mohawk River and the communities that depend on it. Now we need your help to push the Governor to sign it into law. Call on the governor to sign https://ow.ly/LaIE50ZvUES

Riverkeeper President Tracy Brown testified before the Westchester County Board of Legislators, urging county leadership to act. All of Westchester and cities and towns up and down the Hudson deserve clean, healthy, flood-resilient waterways, and it starts with our elected leaders stepping up.

Over the course of five weeks from July to August, Kingston YMCA Farm Project students engaged in an experiential learning course with Riverkeeper to understand the source of drinking water. We explored where our water comes from, where it goes, and what happens to it along its path.

Every action to protect the Hudson River is an investment in a more resilient future. Learn more about climate impacts and our work: https://www.riverkeeper.org/our-work/climate-impacts #climate #nyclimate #nycclimate

Did you know New York City dumps about 21 billion gallons of untreated sewage every year? It doesn't have to be this way. We're advocating for solutions that keep sewage out of our waterways. Learn more riverkeeper.org/swimming-access Animation by jontbrown.com #nycsewage #cso #nycwater

What does it mean to "harm" an endangered species? A new federal rule weakens one of the most important protections in the Endangered Species Act by changing decades of guidance recognizing that habitat destruction can harm endangered wildlife. Learn more: https://ow.ly/L9Af50ZnYCr

We're protecting drinking water at its source. The Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD) is up for renewal in 2027. By investing in nature-based protections, the FAD saves more than $20b that it would cost to build a filtration plant. Join the 7/20 virtual meeting: https://ow.ly/nP7s50Znrsu

Riverkeeper is heading to Other Half Brewing’s Centre Street taproom (195 Centre Street, Brooklyn) on Saturday, July 11 from 2-6:00 pm. The first 40 Riverkeeper members, or people who become members that day, who stop by our table will get a free drink on us! 🍻

The July 3 holiday-weekend discharge of sewage into the Hudson from a treatment plant in Yonkers is a critical reminder of why Riverkeeper’s work to reduce pollution matters so much. Sewage pollution isn't going away on its own, and as our climate continues to change, the stakes only get higher.

The Westchester County Department of Health is advising residents to avoid all recreational contact with the Hudson River until further notice following a power failure at the Yonkers Sewage Treatment System. We will continue to share information as it becomes available. #hudsonriver #westchester

Turns out getting dunked is a great way to protect the Hudson. 💦 Thank you to our brave colleagues who took a seat in the tank and everyone who lined up for a chance to dunk them. It was one of many unforgettable moments from an evening that celebrated Riverkeeper's 60th anniversary.
