Clean Water For All: Reflecting on the 2014 Water Crisis and Shaping a Water-Secure Future

January 9 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Please join us for “Clean Water for All: Reflecting on the 2014 Crisis and Shaping a Water Secure Future” on January 9, 2024, from 5 pm to 9 p.m. at the Culture Center in Charleston.

January 9, 2024 will mark 10 years from the day that a chemical leak on the Elk River left 300,000 people in nine counties throughout the Kanawha Valley region without safe water. This day was a turning point in our collective history, one that highlighted the precious nature of our shared water resources, activated new leaders, and led to legislative wins protecting drinking water quality. 

To commemorate this historic event, please join us to bring together the stories of those impacted by the Elk River chemical leak and the stories of new advocates responding to current problems.

This free event will feature live music, speakers, interactive art, food, and community.

Please register for the event here.
