The federal government is proposing rollbacks to vital clean water protections through the Waters of The US and PERMIT Act—but our business coalition is fighting back with voices that demonstrate the true economic impacts of these policies.

What We Advanced in June 

Clean Water Act Defense – Continuing strategic discussions on protecting federal water protections and leveraging state business voices to demonstrate economic necessity of strong environmental standards.

Waters of The US Response – Coordinating business community pushback against proposed rollbacks that threaten water infrastructure and long-term economic stability.

PERMIT Act Opposition – Mobilizing business leaders to submit testimony and sign-on letters demonstrating how weakened water protections harm economic development and business competitiveness.

Coalition Building – Expanding network of businesses willing to advocate publicly for water infrastructure investments and regulatory protections.

August 11th Focus: Leveraging state business voices in the Clean Water Act protection fight and developing messaging that counters the “good for business” narrative around environmental rollbacks.

Corporate polluters have lobbying power. Clean water businesses have economic truth—and that’s our competitive advantage.
