Protect the Delaware River Basin from Fracking (again) Before Monday 7/13/2026!
Your sacred act of prayer is powerful and can make a real difference toward water protection and a just and stable future for all generations.
This is an urgent request and plea for every person in the Waterspirit community to reach out and urge that your congressional representative NOT allow a fracking ban to be lifted in the Delaware River Basin.

Urge Governor Sherrill to VETO Deceptive "Power Act NJ"
Waterspirit joined over a dozen organizational partners detailing opposition to this bill that would provide no real rate relief for NJ ratepayers and lacks a fiscal note describing cost impacts for residents and the state. Call Governor Sherrill and urge that she veto this bill should it come across her desk. (609-292-6000)
Press Release: Plug-In Solar Heads to Governor Sherrill's Desk!
“Waterspirit is proud that NJ’s leadership is taking a step in the right direction toward peace through justice via solar energy for all.” said Rachel Dawn Davis, Public Policy & Justice Organizer, Waterspirit. “Plug-in solar will reduce water waste, increase energy affordability and access to the sun’s energy for every NJ resident.

Celebrate Plastic Free July
Here in New Jersey, we have a lot to celebrate and act upon. We at Waterspirit have been amplifying opportunities to reduce and eliminate plastic waste for many years. Educational efforts are working. Thanks in part to many of our volunteers for inspiring passage of supportive municipal resolutions, New Jersey recently passed a “Skip the Stuff” bill into law that goes into effect this August. Pat yourself on the back and do a dance if you helped bring a resolution to your municipal leaders urging them to skip the stuff. Well done, NJ advocates! Your voice is your superpower.
Beach Clean-Up
Sandy Hook is thirty-two bags cleaner thanks to last Wednesday’s volunteers!
Fifty people joined us for the cleanup co-sponsored by Save Coastal Wildlife and Waterspirit and picked up everything from ghost gear, to broken glass, to old beach umbrellas.
It was great to spend the time before sunset with each other and by the water. Future events can be found on our website as well as in our mailer at https://bit.ly/3QusHZg.
