With 2 mos left in 2022, we need your help to get SAPHE 2.0 over the finish line! In Aug., despite *unanimous* support in the House & Senate, Gov. Baker sent the bill back to the legislature, doubling down on a patchwork system that has long perpetuated inequities. (1/3) #mapoli

Most of us think of images of arid, dusty western landscapes when we hear drought, but here in MA much of the impacts of drought are not as obvious to the eye.
#WesternMA it's time to shorten the showers and shut down the sprinklers - we are in a water emergency!

Spread the word and shut off the sprinklers! The Valley (and most of MA) is in one bad drought right now.
With over 7 months of below normal rainfall and increased risk of wild fires we are officially in a Level 3-Critical Drought.
