Celebrating a win for the Hudson, a decade in the making
January 9, 2026
Following a nearly decade-long advocacy campaign, we’re celebrating the signing into law of the Hudson River Protection Act, landmark legislation that U.S. Congressman Pat Ryan spearheaded that safeguards drinking water and critical habitat by preventing new anchorage sites in the river between Yonkers and Kingston.
With you, we’ll continue to hold the line against the industrial exploitation of the Hudson and protect this living, life-giving waterway for generations to come.
