If you are interested in learning more about the human toll from PFAS exposure, check out this piece by my colleague @mairallen4

“As we expand our knowledge of the harms of PFAS in our drinking water, we expand our fears. Parents, physicians, neighbors, siblings, all want change. They want action. They want their voices to be heard."

So excited to get my first A1 story in today’s @washingtonpost newspaper —and it’s a solo byline!

I can’t express how honored I am that Amara’s family trusted me to tell her story. Huge shoutout to my exceptional editor @sleavenworth!

This @washingtonpost story on Amara Strande's brave fight to ban PFAS in MN brought tears. Proud of my colleagues who worked alongside her, especially Andrea Lovoll, who is quoted in the piece. Please share it widely to spread the word: our work 2 eradicate PFAS is just beginning

[@MCEA1974 @MCEA1974]

Without Amara Strande & her family we wouldn't have a ban on #PFAS in MN.

Without PFAS she wouldn't have needed to fight.

MCEA was included in this powerful @washingtonpost story and will continue her fight against these chemicals.

So many gems in this piece by my colleague at @MCEA1974 about what the recent revocation of PolyMet's federal wetlands destruction permit means for climate. Spoiler alert - it's a huge win, despite what the mining industry wants you to believe. https://t.co/98iI22GIdr

"Our strong position is Minnesotans shouldn't have to worry about what's in their water," MCEA's Water Program Director, Carly Griffith.

It was an absolute joy to visit the beautiful HAFA Farm a few weeks ago! So glad this Twin Cities gem and powerful contributor to our local food economy earned this protection, and grateful to both @HAFAfarmers & @MCEA1974 for advocating for it. https://t.co/nCGN2oXGBu

We've got a short list of five wins that will have big impacts.

Plus one you might not have on your radar.

Southeast Minnesota's groundwater is particularly vulnerable to nitrate pollution because of the many sinkholes and fractures in the porous limestone underlying the region.

[@MCEA1974 @MCEA1974]

"This contamination poses an imminent and substantial threat to human health, and the problem is not getting any better."

Check out the Star Tribune's story on the drinking water crisis in SE MN & what enviro groups, including MCEA, are doing about it.
