More info on CCW: Communities for Clean Water (CCW) was formally organized in 2006 after several community organizations joined forces to address water contamination at LANL. As of January 2015 CCW Council members include Amigos Bravos, Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety (CCNS), Honor Our Pueblo Existence (HOPE), the New Mexico Acequia Association, Partnership for Earth Spirituality, and Tewa Women United. CCW brings together these separate organizations in order to have a collective and powerful impact on protecting and restoring water quality downstream and downwind from Los Alamos National Laboratory.
