Friend,
I wanted to make sure you saw the email from Mark Ruffalo (below). We’re incredibly grateful he’s lending his support to EWG in this final stretch of 2024. He has already done so much to help raise awareness of the PFAS contamination crisis.
I’d like to give Mark a report on today’s fundraising numbers, but we’re not quite at our goal.
We know you have many worthy causes to support, and we’re truly honored when you choose EWG.
Thanks for your support, friend.
Melanie Benesh
Vice President of Government Affairs, EWG

Subject: How long do we have to wait?
Friend, how long do we have to wait for safe drinking water? Since the 1960s, chemical companies like 3M and DuPont have known the PFAS “forever chemicals” used in their products were linked to cancer, reproductive harm and even a weakened impact of kids’ vaccines. They knew, but they kept it a secret. They kept dumping them into our rivers and lakes, and now we’re paying the price. Polluters face no federal limits on how much toxic PFAS they can release into waterways. Meanwhile, children and families are getting sick. And taxpayers are stuck footing the bill, to the tune of billions in cleanup costs. This is why I stand with EWG. EWG is leading the fight to hold polluters accountable, expose industry coverups and push for stronger protections. But they can’t do this urgent work alone. Right now, I’m asking you: The Biden administration has done more than any other to clean up our water – like setting bold new limits, known as maximum contaminant levels, on toxic forever chemicals in drinking water. But the work to clean it up will only intensify in the years ahead. We can’t afford to wait. We can’t let polluting companies profit while communities suffer. Your support powers EWG’s research, advocacy and public pressure – forcing action when the government won’t. We must get PFAS chemicals out of our water and hold the polluters who created this crisis accountable. It’s time to say: No more secrets. Thanks for having EWG’s back with me, friend. Mark Ruffalo |
