A voice for rivers and the people who depend on them

Building a new voting block for rivers and clean water

American Rivers Action Fund is growing bipartisan support for rivers and clean water action. We build meaningful, long-term relationships with elected champions and advance solutions that can unite voters and decision-makers of different ideologies and backgrounds.

Protecting our clean water and rivers is critical to everyone’s quality of life and health. The looming threat of a warming planet requires us to act quickly and decisively today to ensure future generations continue to benefit from the waterways that sustain our communities.

American Rivers Action Fund is ready to meet the call for urgent action.

Life needs rivers

American Rivers Action Fund is launching in 2024 because so much is at stake.

In every state across the country, at all levels of the ballot, voters can send a message and demand leadership that ensures clean, affordable water for all communities. 

This year, American Rivers Action Fund will: 

  1. Show elected leaders and candidates that voters care about and will vote with water issues top of mind

  2. Unite a nationwide water movement around clear, inspiring calls for clean, safe, and affordable water for all

  3. Elevate water-related issues in the national media as a critical election issue

  4. Support, educate, and elevate candidates from both parties who boast their pro-water positions.
