Hi John,

A dangerous class of carcinogens are getting into our food and water — they’re even in kale. Researchers recently found alarming levels of “forever chemicals” in seven out of eight samples of kale they tested. Even the organic kale tested positive!

The scientific community has taken to referring to this class of chemicals- PFAS and PFOA- as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down. But you know what’s not “forever?” A career in Congress.

Next year, we have a chance to vote out science-denying Republicans out of office. Help us elect members of Congress who will change this.

MAKE A GIFT

PFAS chemicals are known to cause cancer, disrupt our endocrine systems, and cause pregnancy complications. They're unfortunately not just being found in our kale — they’re in water supplies in every state.

The Republican Congress is refusing to address this issue, so we need to vote them out. Make a gift to Food & Water Action so we can elect clean water champions to Congress.

Food & Water Action introduced federal legislation to help fund resources for local water systems, so these “forever chemicals” can be filtered out of the water supply. In 2022, we elected new members of Congress who are signed on as supporters of this legislation — called the Water Affordability, Transparency, Equity and Reliability (WATER) Act.

In 2022, Food & Water Action knocked on 27,000 doors and made 430,000 calls to voters in key battleground districts, electing new Democrats like Chris Deluzio to Congress. And we’re continuing this voter outreach work in 2023 — we’ve already knocked on 40,000 doors this year!

Next year, we’re going to knock on 50,000 doors and call 500,000 voters in an effort to take back Congress. Contribute now to fund our voter outreach efforts to elect real champions and clean up forever chemicals.
