At the @policylink Water, Equity, and Climate Resiliency Caucus Convening, RGISC had the opportunity to learn how frontline communities are fighting to mitigate against impacts from climate change + pollutants. Although the struggles are different, the effects are similar.

Thank you @EPAMichaelRegan for advancing rules to #CutMethane from all O&G wells, including smaller, leak-prone ones. Ending pollution from routine flaring is the next major step to curb pollution and protect communities. Via @FT: on.ft.com/3ne6JLa
