At the beginning of this month, the voices of over 100,000 ONE members from across the country echoed through the halls of the U.S. Senate. Your voices in support of the Durbin-Corker Water for the World Act made their way into every single Senate office. Since July 1, the day the petitions were delivered, four more members of the Senate have signaled their support and signed on as cosponsors of this important piece of legislation. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) cosponsored on July 6; Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Byron Dorgan (D-ND) cosponsored on July 8; and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) just cosponsored on July 15. This puts on record a total of 13 senators supporting the bill.

We are leaving our Water for the World campaign open until the bill passes in the hope of reaching our goal of 150,000 signatures, so please sign if you haven’t already and share it with your friends. Meanwhile, we are continuing to work with our NGO partners and the U.S. Senate in moving this bipartisan legislation forward. Our goal still remains 20 senators on the record as cosponsors.

Every voice matters.
