ARA is energized to have participated in the first-ever Blackbelt Utility Conference today in Demopolis, hosted by Blackbelt Women Rising ! ARA's Victoria (V) had the honor of contributing to the funding roundtable, sharing insights and strategies to empower communities to advocate for their wastewater needs throughout Alabama. V also gave a sneak peek of ARA's latest resource created by our Wastewater Fellowship, the Alabama Water Infrastructure Hub, which helps communities advocate for water infrastructure funding for their community. More about that coming soon, but check in comments for a sneak peek!

This week, HC participated in the Southern State Revolving Fund project led by PolicyLink and River Network! Water advocates from Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, and Tennessee gathered in Houston to kick off the project with planning and power mapping. Over the next year, folks from various groups from the four southern states (see below) are collaborating to learn about equitable water infrastructure investments and how to advocate for the resources our communities need to ensure clean water for all. Representing the communities of the South are Alabama Rivers Alliance, Blackbelt Women Rising , The Capacity Collaborative, Southern Poverty Law Center , Fisherman Interested in Sustaining our Heritage, Native American Indian Association of TN, Inc., Young, Gifted & Green™, Harpeth Conservancy, Water Collaborative of NOLA, Protect Our Aquifer, West Street Recovery, Coalition for Environment, Equity and Resilience, Rio Grande International Study Center, Alliance for Affordable Energy, and Bayou City Waterkeeper. Stay tuned for more information! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/guAMCM_9 . . #DefendRivers #WaterIsLife #StateRevolvingFund #Wastewater
