“Industry created PFAS and they can create the solution.
Be the solution. Work with us. We want businesses to succeed. Just not at the price of our lives.”
-Nora Strande
“Our Minnesota community has been blindsided and poisoned by toxic chemicals for decades. We can do better. And Amara’s Law is proof of that.” -Nora Strande
“I do not do this merely to keep Amara’s legacy alive. We advocate because it is common sense to fight corporate greed and keep toxic chemicals out of our homes.” -Michael Strande
“The health of our community, the cleanliness of environment and water is the most important thing to focus on right now.” -Senator Judy Seeberger, Chief Senate Author of Amara’s Law
Amara’s Law passed with bipartisan support. This was put together over many years, written and rewritten, with support from democrats and republicans. It is common sense law.
Amara’s Law passed in 2023 to make MN safer & healthier in our battle against toxic forever chemicals.
The chemical industry is back in MN & trying to reverse this vital law.
Give a gift today to help us protect MN’s water for future generations.
