Causes: Environment, Pollution Abatement & Control
Mission: TCWN organizes Tennesseans to claim our right to clean water and healthy communities by fostering civic engagement, building coalitions and advancing water policy. Our vision is for: --All Tennesseans to have access to and benefit from clean, free-flowing water; --Tennessee water quality policy to be a model for the nation, with standards that exceed federal minimums and a commitment to improve those standards for the benefit of all Tennesseans; --Protection of the unique beauty of Tennessee''s rivers, lakes and open spaces.
Programs: TCWN plays an important leadership role in advocating for strong clean water laws, regulations, and policies in Tennessee. While our efforts are most intensively focused on Clean Water Act implementation and enforcement at the state level, we are also engaged in national and local efforts. TCWN works closely with partners at the local, state, and national levels, including NGOs, government agencies, elected officials, universities, businesses, and other allies, to advance policy positions and further water protection strategies.
