It's time to stand up and support those who champion Rural America!

USDA Rural Development's Water and Environmental Programs (WEP) have been a steadfast ally to rural communities, aiding in essential upgrades to our water and wastewater facilities. However, current Congressional policies and funding decisions are putting these communities at risk. Budget cuts threaten to undermine USDA WEP's ability to fulfill its mission. WEP plays a crucial role in boosting economic opportunities, safeguarding public health, maintaining affordable water access, and ensuring the sustainability of rural communities.
