Defend the EPA's 2024 PFAS drinking water standards. The Trump EPA's plan to lift restrictions on four types of forever chemicals and extend compliance deadlines is a gift to the chemical industry — not a public health policy. PFAS are in the blood of 97% of Americans and are linked to cancer. The Biden administration's 2024 rules were the first federal limits ever set on these contaminants. Gutting them now puts millions of people at risk. The administration is pointing to $1 billion in PFAS remediation grants as proof of commitment to clean water. That money was appropriated by Congress in 2021 — the Trump administration didn't secure a single dollar of it. Legal experts, including NYU School of Law dean emeritus Richard L. Revesz, have rejected the EPA's claim that the Biden-era limits couldn't survive court challenges, saying the agency has "largely adopted the positions of the chemical industry." That's not protecting Americans. That's protecting polluters. Stand against this rollback. Vote to preserve the 2024 PFAS limits and oppose any legislative or administrative effort to weaken them.
