Dear John,

Every day, dairy farmer, Mum, and Mainer, Jenni Tilton-Flood, wakes to the concern that all of her work is for not!

She is worried about the presence of PFAS (known as forever chemicals) in the soils, waters, and working lands of her nearby communities—the very environment she relies on to feed her herd, neighbors, and community.

Throughout 2021, we worked with our allies to phase-out toxic PFAS when safer alternatives are available.

That phasing out of PFAS was a win for the environment and for people across the state – especially for low-income and communities of color who are disproportionally affected by this contamination.

But to keep this critical work moving forward, your support is needed throughout the year.

Will you consider making an even greater impact by becoming a Kennebec Friend with a monthly gift today?

Sadly, after legislation passed to phase-out PFAS, farmers like Jenni were faced with the burden of remediation costs through no fault of their own. It quickly became apparent that we needed to work with our partners to rally around farmers who could not and should not have to bear this cost.

This past legislative session, we used our collective power to secure new state funding for farmers to deal with the impact that PFAS has on their land and water supply.

Collective action is central to the work at Maine Conservation Voters.

Listening to individuals like Jenni, collaborating with other environmental and social justice communities, and partnering with members just like you are all key to environmental protection and climate action. We cannot do it without you.

Will you join our monthly giving program today to make a greater impact?

There has never been a better time to join. Your membership today will unlock an additional $3,600. Another generous member offered a match if we meet the goal of 36 new Kennebec Friends by October 15th. Click here to become a Kennebec Friend today.

- Stacie
