- Riverkeeper is a member-supported not-for-profit with a mission to defend the Hudson River and its tributaries and protect the drinking water supply for nine million New York City and Hudson Valley residents. For more than 45 years, Riverkeeper has been New York's clean water advocate. Riverkeeper uses law, science and grassroots advocacy to defend the rights of our communities to clean water. Through this powerful combination of strategies we have helped to establish globally recognized standards for waterway and watershed protection and serve as the model and mentor for the growing Waterkeeper movement that includes 200 Keeper programs across the country and around the globe. Since 2008, Riverkeeper has been working to prevent unsafe hydrofracking in the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations in New York State. We have been a key advocate for a comprehensive study of the health impacts of hydrofracking and a leading participant in the State's environmental review process for hydrofracking. Riverkeeper also worked with Delaware Riverkeeper Network in a legal intervention to prevent the finalization of regulations that would have allowed hydrofracking to go forward in the Delaware River Basin without the completion of environmental studies required by federal law.

- Silent Spring Institute was founded by breast cancer and environmental activists, scientists, and physicians in 1994 to conduct scientific research on potential environmental causes of breast cancer and other women's health problems. Our mission is to do the highest quality scientific research in collaboration with academic scientists and our activist partners. Our research has included health studies, for example a breast cancer case-control study of 2100 women on Cape Cod, MA; exposure studies, for example we conducted a landmark study of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals indoors that included first-reported measures for 30 different EDCs; and research reviews, for example a series of papers published in the journal Cancer reviewing evidence for associations of various environmental factors and breast cancer. Our web site is www.silentspring.org.
