*[Enwl-eng] Sign the petition: Demand Congress regulate chemicals that contaminate our food and drinking water and jeopardize our health

[enwl]

PFAS chemicals, used to make Teflon and firefighting foam, have been linked to thyroid disease, liver damage, and fertility problems. Congress must regulate PFAS and prioritize our health. 
                        For decades, Americans have unknowingly been ingesting food and water contaminated with toxic chemicals found in everyday goods like nonstick pans, household cleaners, and even dental floss. 

                        These chemicals, often known as “forever chemicals” -- called perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) -- can lead to several dire health problems including liver damage, certain types of cancer, and thyroid disease. 

                        Communities across the country -- including those on military bases -- continue to be deeply impacted by this growing public health crisis, but companies like 3M and DuPont are spending billions of dollars to lobby against any regulations of their dangerous chemicals. 

                        Our health and wellbeing are not something to be brushed under the rug in favor of corporate money -- we must refuse to jeopardize ourselves for the sake of their bottom line. 

                        This is a major national health issue that requires federal protection. Demand Congress regulate PFAS and hold polluting companies responsible now. 

                                Add your Name
                                  
                             

                        PFAS have contaminated the drinking water of millions of people across America and unsurprisingly the companies that produce household items with these toxic chemicals have known about the health risks for decades. 

                        Yet, similar to tobacco companies and Big Oil, they have also knowingly suppressed information that would inform the public about the harm that their products cause. 

                        We cannot sit by and watch these corporations actively contribute to this public health crisis to boost their profit margins. It’s time for them to stop playing politics with the lives of every American. 

                        We must speak out now to hold the chemical industry accountable for knowingly poisoning people and covering it up. Sign the petition: Congress must regulate PFAS and hold polluting companies responsible. 

                        Thank you for taking action. Together, we will finally hold the chemical industry accountable.
