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." https://t.co/35aABsjdRt

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! Read here: https://t.co/U3x0k6uvfN

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
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. https://t.co/zrHSYvMZPW

Amara Strande was a powerful force in this year’s passage of a Minnesota law to ban “forever chemicals.” She grew in a Twin Cities suburb contaminated by PFAS.

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.

For years, advocates for copper-nickel mining have simultaneously pushed for coal-fired electricity.

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.
