Dangerous lead-contaminated pipes put our communities’ health on the line. @EPA must finalize the strongest safeguards in the Lead and Copper Rule to ensure safe drinking water for all. Make your voice heard and call on @EPA to #GetTheLeadOut NOW →bit.ly/41HtGq9

A little past midnight last night, Michigan's House passed sweeping energy legislation. While we want to celebrate the progress in these bills, we need to recognize that they have flaws and were passed over the objection of environmental justice groups. Buckle up for🧵. #mileg

"A hundred thousand people could be poisoned in the US and nothing would happen. That happened in Flint, and no one has been charged. That water could be commodified. And people can be punished for not having running water." Nayyirah Shariff of @FlintRising for the Black Hive.

Impactful winter storm set to bring heavy wintery mixed precipitation through tonight. Heaviest precipitation arrives during the afternoon and evening hours, primarily as a freezing rain south of I-69 (some sleet mixed in) and snow to the north.
ALT Winter Storm and Ice Storm Warnings go in effect Noon tomorrow through early Thursday morning. Ice accumulations to or in excess of a quarter-inch will be likely for locations under an ice storm warning. Ice accumulations up to a quarter-inch and snowfall totals between 3-8 inches expected over the winter storm warning.
ALT A low pressure system brings widespread wintry precipitation to southeast Michigan Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning. Better chance for snow stays north of I-69 where the largest snow totals reside, with best chance for freezing rain along and north of of M59. Rain may mix in south of I-94.
