At Clean Water Action we believe that those most affected by environmental degradation should have a voice at the table, and that solutions to environmental problems contribute to broader goals of justice for the most vulnerable among us.

We work to empower people to take action to protect America's waters, build healthy communities, and to make democracy work for all of us. With over 1 million members nationwide, Clean Water Action is at the forefront of grassroots efforts to protect our nation’s environment and public health. Clean Water Action offices work locally to sustain and improve environmental standards, preserve our invaluable natural resources, and promote democratic processes in which the voice of the citizens determines the policy that affects our communities and quality of life. For 50 years Clean Water Action has succeeded in winning some of the nation's most important environmental protections through grassroots organizing, expert policy research and political advocacy focused on holding elected officials accountable to the public.

We are committed to reflecting the communities we work in and POC, LGBTIQ folks, and women are strongly encouraged to apply.
