What does it take to bring people together across political divides? Sometimes, it starts with protecting the place you call home.

Actor and advocate @MarkRuffalo joined supporters of the Women’s Water Walk and spoke about the power of finding common ground, even when we don’t agree on everything.

Stopping the Constitution Pipeline doesn’t have to be about left vs. right. People across #Pennsylvania and #NewYork can have different politics and still share the same concerns about protecting their water, their land, their homes and their communities.

We don’t have to agree on everything to stand together on this. No matter your politics, we can agree. We must #StopTheCON. Take action at the link in our bio! taken in Catskills NY by @waterfallunityalliance

Meet @upside_uma! She travelled all the way from Florida to join the @womenswaterwalk. She walked every day, shared beautiful songs, and energized the walkers with her beautiful voice. She was also our amazing bus driver and took on many other important roles. Thank you, @upside_uma, for your dedication and commitment to protecting the waters!

When we said “women-led,” we meant it. Thank you to our amazing support team for all they do. by @waterfallunityalliance

The @WomensWaterWalk may be over, but the reasons people walked didn’t end when the final mile was finished.

Karenna Gore of the @CenterforEarthEthics joined the walk to stand alongside the Indigenous women, landowners, community members, and supporters coming together to protect water and oppose the Constitution Pipeline.

As we continue the work to #StopTheCON, we want to keep hearing why people are part of this movement. Why did you walk? Why did you stand in solidarity? Why do you want to protect these waters and communities?

Film a short video telling us your #WhyIWalk, post it to social media, and tag Stop the CON so we can uplift your story. by @waterfallunityalliance
