Learn more about the Mississippi River Agreement
The Mississippi River Agreement will strengthen collaboration among communities in the watershed by building a unique foundation for collective action and collaboration dedicated to the Mississippi River led from the local level. This agreement builds toward an interstate water compact by showcasing the extraordinary work that local governments and Tribes are already doing to protect the river. The work is being led by Alexandra Campbell-Ferrara, co-founder of the Center for Water Security and Cooperation, a non-partisan, non-profit environmental organization specializing in water policy and law based in Washington DC.
The Center for Water Security and Cooperation just launched an exciting new Newsletter for leaders in the Mississippi River watershed. The purpose of the Newsletter is to
1. Inform (by sharing news from the watershed and other informational and educational opportunities to build capacity),
2. Connect (by creating a space for leaders to meet, exchange ideas, and partner with others to protect the Mississippi River watershed and the communities and businesses who rely on it, and
3. Mobilize (by uniting local and Tribal leaders to develop
regional and local policies and laws that protect the Mississippi River watershed and their communities).
Through this Newsletter, Local and Tribal Leaders can learn more about joining the Mighty Mississippi Leaders Network and other leaders can consider becoming Future of the River Advisors! The CWSC invites you to sign up for the Newsletter by emailing Alexandra Campbell-Ferrari at
