❗️This weekend, Mariam Paichadze, our communications manager from @wecf_georgia was arrested in a peaceful protest against the ongoing police violence used by the Georgian regime against its people. Miriam has been released today.

✊We demand the release of all other arrested demonstrators in Georgia fighting for democracy, social rights and a violence-free future and call for new elections!

⚠️ PFAS have been found in our food, drinking water, and blood.

🚨 A new #ForeverLobbying Project reveals it will cost billions annually to clean up all PFAS!

🚰 We must turn off the tap on these #ForeverChemicals

🔎 More in our latest news story 👉 https://t.co/BcqLRi6cpg

[WECF international @WECF_INT]

This week, PFAS yet again made headlines as a huge investigation exposed the ongoing orchestrated lobbying and disinformation campaign by the chemical industry to fight a planned EU ban on “forever chemicals” and shifting the burden of environmental pollution onto society!

Take action: Sign the petition for a toxic-free future and tell our leaders to ban forever chemicals: https://t.co/4Kj2xEfLDd

PFAS have even been found in the blood of unborn babies. Only yesterday, a medieval-sounding headline emerged that residents of Jersey were recommended bloodletting to lower the level of PFAS in their blood after their drinking water was contaminated with firefighting foams.😱

The true cost of cleaning up PFAS contamination in Europe will amount to €2 trillion over 20 years or an annual bill of €100 billion.
