Say no to sewage pollution! Join the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) for one of two free trainings to connect with other advocates ahead of combined sewer overflow (CSO) public hearings in September. The current draft plan allows sewage to be regularly dumped into Alewife Brook and Mystic River for the foreseeable future, and we need your voices to advocate for a better plan.

Training Dates:

• Wednesday, September 2nd from 6:30-7:30 PM | IN-PERSON at MyRWA Office (23 Maple St., Arlington MA) | RSVP HERE

• Wednesday, September 9th from 6:30-7:30 PM | Online via ZOOM | REGISTER HERE

At these trainings, you will learn how to register for the hearings, practice making strong and compelling statements for testimony, and have the chance to ask questions to MyRWA staff about the CSO Long-Term Control Plan and the upcoming hearings.
