Clean Water Action has been meeting with activists and political leaders in Cranston to fight for clean construction.

Many of you have been engaged in this fight, but now more than ever…..WE NEED YOU TO TAKE ACTION.

The Council Finance Committee will be hearing the Clean Construction Ordinance on February 11th at 8:00 pm at City Hall.

If you are unable to attend, please send a letter of support to the city council. You can find their contact information by clicking here.

See the sample letter below as a basic template:

“I urge you to support a Clean Diesel Construction Ordinance for Cranston. Construction projects generate more toxic diesel emissions than any other diesel source in our state. These toxins are responsible for numerous health risks for Cranston residents including cancer, cardiovascular disease and heart attacks, asthma attacks and premature death. Our city should not be ranked in the worst 6% of all U.S. counties for health problems caused by diesel pollution. Please take action to protect Cranston's air quality and its citizens by reducing diesel emissions from public works construction projects.”

Clean Water Action organizer Nicole Poepping will be at City Hall at 7:30 for a briefing session.
