LDF has been involved in various initiatives related to water justice, recognizing that access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental civil right. This work often intersects with issues such as environmental justice, racial equality, and community health.

Water justice efforts typically focus on addressing the inequalities that marginalized communities face, including inadequate infrastructure, contamination of water sources, and high costs associated with water services. LDF aims to ensure that all communities, particularly those historically disadvantaged, have equal access to clean water and are protected from environmental hazards.
