Black Women for Wellness’ Environmental Justice team has released a comprehensive water guide aimed at addressing water equity in South LA. The Drinking Water Guide for South Los Angeles is a resource to give residents the information they deserve about their water, and is part of a push to ensure access to clean, affordable, and safe drinking water for all.
The guide is divided into two major sections:
The first provides an overview of the national and local systems that impede water equity, shedding a light on the intersection between reproductive justice and water, as well as the profound impact of climate change on water systems.
The second offers resources and steps residents can take to address their water concerns at home, from information on low-income assistance programs in Los Angeles to guidance on choosing water filters.
