Bayou City Waterkeeper has proudly joined a coalition of leading Texas environmental, climate, and community organizations calling on state elected leaders to deliver real, lasting solutions for our waters, land, and communities.
As decisions made at the state Capitol directly impact the safety, quality, and resilience of the Greater Houston region’s bayous, wetlands, and water infrastructure, unified collective advocacy is essential for holding decision-makers accountable.
“Clean, safe, and accessible water is the bedrock of healthy, resilient Texas communities. When state leadership fails to prioritize protective water policies, vulnerable communities bear the heaviest burden of flooding, pollution, and systemic neglect. We stand with our partners across Texas ready to push legislative action that protects our waters and the people who rely on them every single day.”
— Guadalupe Fernández, Policy Strategy Director, Bayou City Waterkeeper
