What will your drop in the bucket be?💧 Did you know that more than two million Americans lack access to clean drinking water at home? Everyone (yes! including you 😉) has a part to play in building a future where we all have clean, safe, and reliable water. Whether it's learning about your local water issues, supporting an initiative or candidate working to safeguard our most precious resource, or getting to know the people who manage your community's water—it all makes a difference. On October 17, join a tide of fellow water advocates honoring the 10th annual Imagine A Day Without Water, a day that calls on each of us to get loud on behalf of water and the people who keep it flowing to our communities. What will your drop in the bucket be this year? Learn more and get inspired: https://lnkd.in/eqG7-T8g

Thrilled to be a part of spreading One Water and water equity across Colorado!
