About

An affiliate of American Rivers, the American Rivers Action Fund is the only organization focused on the politics of advancing strong river and water policy.  

We are all connected by the 3.5 million miles of rivers that flow across our country.

No matter where you live, we all need clean water, and most of our drinking water comes from rivers.

What’s more, rivers are ribbons of life, providing vital habitat for plants and animals. And most of us have a special water body in our life – whether it’s a childhood memory or a place we love to visit with friends and family today.

Water unites us – yet our nation is gripped by a growing water crisis. Pollution, along with the floods, droughts, and fires that come with extreme weather, are harming our rivers and water supplies, and threatening the health, safety, and well-being of communities nationwide.

Meeting the moment: 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.
