We are demanding justice for our people. We deserve clean drinking water. This is our Flint and our people are dying. We have filed a petition to the @EPA, along with several partners, to demand accountability and clean up now! coastalreview.org/2020/10/nc-non…

Our organization launched the “EMC Don’t Wait, Ban the Eight” Campaign calling for the EMC to ban all 8 #PFAS chemicals, not just the politicized 3. All of NC deserves clean drinking water, not Just one city. youtu.be/OG7izmE14CI?si…

As the EMC begins its meetings today to consider the @NCDEQ proposed standards for PFAS in surface and groundwater, I have sent the following letter to the EMC clarify mischaracterizations and misunderstandings contained in a recent @NCChamber letter on this subject.

Thank you for your continued service to the people of NC- advocating, providing clear scientific data & bold action to tackle #PFAS. We have dozens of members and volunteers who have reported illnesses due to exposure. There is enough proof of impact, EMC must remove all 8 PFAS.

I’m disappointed that the EMC, yet again, refused to take action on PFAS standards that protect the health and pocketbooks of North Carolinians. The science is clear - PFAS exposures have health impacts, including cancer. The people of NC have waited too long for action.

There are real world consequences to their lack of action - our analysis shows that not setting standards results in more than 9,000 avoidable cancer-related deaths, and thousands of cases of additional health impacts.

The EMC had all the information they needed to move forward - but they continue to move the goalposts. They are more interested in protecting polluters than protecting the health of everyday North Carolinians.#PFAS

Yesterday, nearly 30 community leaders representing over 25 #NC counties came together to call on the Environmental Management Commission to approve @NCDEQ recommendations to remove 8 PFAS from our drinking water sources. The EMC decided to stall the vote but we won’t be silenced
