UPDATE re: stopping PFAS pollution

This will be tough to hear, friend. Although an incredible104 supporters donated to our Stop PFAS Pollution Campaign, we are still short of our goal. This will be tough to hear, friend. Although an incredible 104 supporters donated to our Stop PFAS Pollution Campaign, we are still short of our goal. The PFAS crisis is not going away, and we can’t keep up our work protecting your health and holding polluters accountable without your support. Friend, you’ve consistently shown up for EWG when it matters most. Can we count on you to make a donation today to help our work on PFAS chemicals? [Any amount – no matter how small – will make a difference.]( Here’s why your support for EWG is so important, especially right now: 1. PFAS are present in detectable levels in an astonishing number of tap water samples tested across the country, likely getting into the bloodstream of more than 200 million Americans. 2. PFAS polluters are pressuring Congress to create loopholes so they can avoid paying for their contamination. This would encourage them to keep polluting. 3. Every day, we learn of a new community dealing with PFAS contamination. [Friend, is there any way you can chip in right now to help us reach our goal by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT?]( Thanks for all that you do, friend. Our work wouldn’t be possible without your support. Leo Weinreb Senior Digital Production Associate, EWG ---------- Original Message ---------- To: {EMAIL} From: EWG Research Date: Friday, July 28, 2023 Subject: Stop PFAS pollution at the source [EWG] [EWG] [Stop PFAS Pollution - DONATE NOW]( [Stop PFAS Pollution - DONATE NOW]( Unbelievable, friend. Companies that made a fortune poisoning our environment with PFAS chemicals are trying to shirk responsibility for the contamination. For DECADES they knew these chemicals were linked to cancer and other health harms. And they still used them. Now they want to get out of paying to clean up their mess. This crisis is not going away. EWG has exposed the extent of PFAS contamination, given you the tools you need to reduce your exposure and is fighting for regulations that will protect your health. But we need your help. We are continuing to expand our PFAS work, but we need to raise an additional $15,000 by 7/31 to stay on track with our budget. If you are concerned about PFAS and want to hold polluters accountable, we need your help today. [Can we count on you to make a donation to help us reach our goal of $15,000 by 7/31? Your donation will continue our fight to STOP PFAS POLLUTION at the source and make polluters pay.]( For over 20 years EWG has led the fight against PFAS. We have mapped PFAS contamination, exposed the cover-ups by polluters like Dupont and 3M and fought to get the EPA and the government to stop the contamination. From the beginning, we’ve sounded the alarm on the seriousness of this crisis. Our work has started to pay dividends. Thanks in large part to our advocacy and the advocacy of our supporters, the Biden administration’s EPA has proposed maximum contaminant levels for six of the most dangerous PFAS in tap water. But polluters are still adding more PFAS chemicals into our environment and we must hold them accountable. [Our work is far from over. With detectable levels of PFAS in the tap water of an estimated 200 million Americans and Congress now considering exempting certain polluters from cleaning up their PFAS contamination, we need your help now more than ever. Please donate today to support our PFAS work. Even just $15 would go a long way.]( Just look at the great work EWG has done in the past few months: 1. We identified the best filters to get PFAS out of your drinking water at home. 2. We are leading a campaign to stop PFAS polluters from dodging responsibility for their contamination of our environment. 3. We released a study showing that PFAS were present in detectable levels in the vast majority of tap water samples tested across the country. 4. We released a study of PFAS contamination in freshwater fish, finding that a single serving per year could be equal to a month of drinking water laced with the “forever chemical” PFOS. 5. We sponsored legislation to get PFAS out of cleaners and artificial turf in California. [Can you chip in just $15 today to fund our future PFAS research and advocacy efforts? If we don’t reach our goal by the end of this month, we may not have the resources we need to bring you the high-quality research, education and action you rely on.]( Thanks for all you do, friend.
