TAKE ACTION: Water for 100 Million

June 4th, 2009 at 1:43 pm

Senators Durbin and Corker have introduced S. 624, The Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2009, a bipartisan bill to provide 100 million people with access to clean water. But with only five cosponsors, the bill isn’t getting the attention it needs for further action by Senate leaders. It must have at least 20 cosponsors to move forward.

Now is the time to follow through on Obama’s inaugural pledge to “let clean waters flow”. Ask your senators to cosponsor S. 624 now.

By working together, ONE members everywhere have an opportunity to make a big difference for millions of people. This bill would also help establish the capacity and momentum we need to meet the Millennium Development Goal on increasing access to water and sanitation by 2015. Please encourage your family and friends to sign the petition here.

Thank you for doing your part,
