Midwest Environmental Advocates

Support MEA's Factory Farm Campaign!

At Midwest Environmental Advocates we are at the forefront of efforts to protect communities across the Midwest from the disastrous impacts of ‘factory farms’.Your donation will help us continue our important work to:

  • Educate the public about the environmental and public health risks of ‘factory farms;’
  • Advocate for stricter laws to regulate pollution from ‘factory farms’ and for changes to misguided public policies that have allowed for the predominance of ‘factory farms’ through subsidies at the public’s expense; and
  • Litigate to enforce the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act against those ‘factory farms’ that are significant violators of our environmental laws.

Keeping Milwaukee’s Water Public
In April Milwaukee received bids from private companies to assess the value of and grease the skids for privatizing Milwaukee’s Water Works.  This could lead to higher rates for water and decreased service and maintenance.  MEA has been speaking out against this proposal, and working with a growing coalition focused on protecting Milwaukee’s waters and keeping them in public control.  In response to our efforts the City announced that it is shelving plans to privatize Milwaukee’s water!
