It's good to see polluters being held responsible for releasing toxic #PFAS forever chemicals into New Mexicans' water. Next, we need to rapidly switch to PFAS-free firefighting foam, and move away from using chemicals that have been linked to #cancer.

Confused why Bayer-Monsanto is still selling Roundup, even after agreeing to settle 95,000 lawsuits alleging the product causes cancer? We break it down. #BanRoundup https://t.co/IfKayhNdKl

Stories from the front lines of #COVID19. As states reopen, cases could rise, and we need to protect health workers now. #GetThemPPE

[NMPIRG @NMPIRG]

Nancy Beck’s career has been focused on blocking or weakening health & safety protections for toxic chemicals by overstating uncertainty, downplaying data accepted by mainstream science & excluding evidence. That’s not the resume we need for the chair of the @USCPSC.
#BadNewsBeck

[NMPIRG @NMPIRG]

Nancy Beck, nominated to chair @USCPSC, the agency charged with protecting consumers, is great for big industry, but bad for just about everyone else.
That’s why we joined @uspirg and 62 other consumer & environmental groups to oppose #BadNewsBeck

That's a wrap. We will post the full video later.

@parsonnt "When you are going to war, which we are, leadership matters." Says that stronger local leaders have really helped many people, but we need more national leadership. Also "infrastructure matters." "We have to look to see how we bring ourselves to the 21st century"

[U.S. PIRG @uspirg]

Time for closing statements. What are the main takeaways?

@JoeKanter "We've been reaffirmed of the value of emergency preparedness" ... "those are smart investments" adds that we need to stop states from competing.

How can we provide the necessary #PPE to protect all #healthcareworkers now, in response to #COVID19? Join @uspirg’s virtual panel -- happening NOW -- on Facebook Live to hear from experts & medical professionals. https://t.co/pgAJUCF7Wo

Healthcare providers shouldn’t have to choose which of their patients get life saving care & which ones don’t. Tell the Trump Admin to use its emergency powers to DOUBLE the ventilator supply over the next four weeks. #MoreVentilators #COVID19 https://t.co/0INlBomlca

[NMPIRG @NMPIRG]

Health professionals say they don’t have enough #coronavirus tests available to test everyone who needs it. Add your name to call for a plan that makes sure that everyone who needs a test gets one in the next seven days. #COVID19 https://t.co/IIjQmDHXsR

[NMPIRG @NMPIRG]

As #Coronavirus has become an increasingly global threat, prices for supplies like hand sanitizer, sold on @amazon, have spiked. Tell Amazon: Protect consumers from price gouging. #COVID19 https://t.co/CqtaQAqMS6

Bacteria are outsmarting #antibiotics. Learn how in this great video by @nytimes

[NMPIRG @NMPIRG]

We think quality means more than serving fresh beef. It means serving beef raised without routine antibiotics. @Wendys will you #holdtheantibiotics?

[NMPIRG @NMPIRG]

Devastating stories like the ones outlined in @60Minutes are why we need to take action now. Wendy's can help stop #antibiotic overuse in agriculture by eliminating routine antibiotic use in its beef supply. @Wendys will you #holdtheantibiotics?

"The increasing availability of #antibiotics has accelerated an alarming downside: The drugs are losing their ability to kill the germs they were created to conquer." @AndrewJacobsNYT reminds us that superbugs are a global issue. Via @nytimes

Antibiotic overuse in livestock undermines the effectiveness of medicines that people depend on. Thanks for covering this important issue @nprDanCharles

Pathogens are outsmarting antibiotics, putting our ability to treat infections at risk. We can't afford to overuse these life-saving medicines to prop up a broken food system. They need to be reserved for when we need them most. @AndrewJacobsNYT @nytimes

[NMPIRG @NMPIRG]

Wendy’s can help protect public health by committing to eliminate routine #antibiotic use in its entire beef supply. @Wendys will you #holdtheantibiotics?
