PFAS—“forever chemicals”—are poisoning our water, our soil, and our bodies. They never break down, they build up in our blood, and they’re linked to cancers and other serious health problems. Nearly every American now carries PFAS in their bloodstream.
This isn’t an accident—it’s the result of corporations putting profits over public health while our government has moved too slowly to stop them. PFAS has contaminated drinking water in all 50 states. Clean water is a human right, and yet millions of us are being forced to drink toxic chemicals we never asked for.
Congress must act now: ban PFAS in consumer products and industry, set strong federal drinking water standards, and make polluters—not taxpayers—pay for cleanup.
Readers: call your Members of Congress. Tell them we will not tolerate delay while chemical companies profit and communities are poisoned.
