Moving Forward Network member Clean Water Action is one of the most muscular environmental justice groups in America, with more than a million members and a 40 year track record of success.
Clean Water Action is a key player in EJ in New York and New Jersey, where it has led the way on a wide variety of issues, including cleaning up diesel exhaust air pollution emitted by the Port of New York and New Jersey.
