Tell Trump’s EPA: Don’t Poison Our Drinking Water

EPA water chief Jessica Kramer just made the threat official: Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency wants to reopen and erase key limits on PFAS in drinking water.

The first-ever federal protections against toxic forever chemicals are now on the chopping block.

PFAS have been linked to cancer, heart disease, and harm to babies. But instead of protecting families, Trump’s EPA is giving polluters more time and trying to gut the safeguards meant to keep these chemicals out of our taps.

PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they do not easily break down. They build up in the environment, in our water, and in our bodies.

Millions may be drinking contaminated water. And now Trump’s EPA wants to make it easier for these chemicals to stay there. That’s a betrayal of all of us.

Parents should not have to wonder whether a glass of water could expose their children to chemicals linked to cancer or low birth weight. Communities should not have to pay the price for decades of corporate pollution. And EPA should not be helping polluters dodge accountability.

This rollback is not final. Zeldin and Trump’s EPA can still back down — but only if the public pressure is impossible to ignore.

EPA’s job is to protect people — not protect the companies that poisoned our water in the first place.

Thanks for all that you do,
