TELL CONGRESS: Don’t Let Americans Lose Access to Critical Health & Security Protections
Wastewater monitoring is a proven and cost-effective tool for keeping Americans safe by detecting infectious disease outbreaks and defending against biosecurity threats.
But the current funding has expired, leaving the health and security of millions of Americans at risk.
If Congress does not act now to fund wastewater monitoring across our country, Americans will lose access to a proven early health warning system, and our country will be less prepared to respond to emerging threats to our national security. American families cannot afford that.
Will you send a letter to protect American families and communities?
Make your voice heard and urge immediate action from Congress to fund wastewater monitoring NOW.
SUBJECT: ACT NOW: Fund Wastewater Monitoring to Protect American Families & Communities
As your constituent, I urge you to act swiftly to fund wastewater monitoring. Wastewater monitoring is an essential and cost-effective tool to detect new and emerging diseases early, so we can respond quickly to threats and keep our families and communities safe.
Investment in wastewater monitoring is not only critical to protecting the health of American families and our national security, it also helps prevent costly – and deadly – health emergencies. It allows decision-makers to act quickly based on real-time information and ensures communities have the tools they need to detect emerging health threats before they become tragedies.
Now is the time to strengthen proven, cost-effective strategies to protect Americans, not abandon them. I urge you to take immediate action to fund this critical program.
Thank you for your commitment to protecting our communities.
