About us
The Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition’s mission is to secure a sustainable Great Lakes restoration plan and the federal funding to implement it. Healthy lakes and healthy people go hand in hand. The Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition will endeavor to make our work more relevant and impactful by ensuring that the people of the region have access to clean, affordable, and safe drinking water; can eat fish that are not toxic; and are able to live healthy lives that are not undermined by pollution. Equity in our work means we will strive to intentionally include those who have been historically excluded—specifically people of color and people from impoverished backgrounds—and work to break down barriers to their inclusion within the Great Lakes community, so that the Great Lakes can be enjoyed and used by people now and for generations to come.

ICYMI: While the clean energy transition presents enormous opportunity for Indiana, ICV alerted Healing Our Waters - Great Lakes Coalition that Hoosiers' water is under constant threat from the lack of statewide resource management, #PFAS deregulation, wetlands deregulation & antiquated steelmaking technologies.

Last week I had the absolute pleasure of attending the 2024 Great Lakes Conference in Chicago with Healing Our Waters - Great Lakes Coalition! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many passionate environmental professionals and participating in this Adopt-a-Beach clean-up at Oak St. Beach with Shedd Aquarium, Save the Dunes, and Alliance for the Great Lakes! In total, we removed 18.7 pounds of litter from the beach and enjoyed a beautiful day on the shores of Lake Michigan. Thanks so much to all the people who made this conference so rewarding! #LakeMichigan #environmentalstewardship #adoptabeach #environmentaljournalism #healingourwaters #healthylakes #greatlakesregion #greatlakescoalition #freelancewriter
