water filters, santa, and a christmas tree

All Malden wants for Christmas is drinking water without lead! Clean Water Action joined Santa and the City of Malden Office of Public Health this weekend for music, games, and give-aways including free children’s books and free water filters. Everyone should have a right to safe drinking water!

Vineyard Wind has powered homes and businesses—and thousands of jobs—for a year. 

Stopping construction days before Christmas, in the dead of winter, is reckless and dangerous.

We're in touch with other states and doing everything we can to finish these projects.
