Podcast: Laurel Firestone, founder of the Community Water Center

The health of water is tied to the health of people. No one knows that better than Laurel Firestone, founder of the Community Water Center. While a million Californians are exposed to unsafe drinking water every year in their homes, schools, churches and parks, the California Water Center knows this is a solvable problem. Through organizing, education, and advocacy, they're getting after it. Firestone and her team give impacted communities a voice in the water decisions effecting them. Last year she was named one of the most influential people in California water policy, and she serves on state advisory committees and partners with universities to develop research and clinical programs that ensure the human right to water.
