Prioritizing an Upstream Focus for PFAS in Drinking Water

August 4, 2025 | By Krista Vanderpuye

According to a 2023 U.S. Geological Survey, at least 45% of tap water in the U.S. contains one or more types of PFAS. This contamination didn’t occur overnight—it has been building up in our environment for decades, beginning with the initial manufacturing of PFAS in the 1940s.

Time to Ban Toxic PFAS Chemicals in New Jersey!

New Jersey should join our neighboring states and pass a comprehensive ban on PFAS!

Thank your legislator for protecting Amara's Law

In 2023, Minnesota passed Amara's Law, the strongest PFAS prevention legislation in the country. And this year, in 2025, Minnesota lawmakers stood strong and rejected pressure from the chemical industry to carve out dangerous exemptions to this bipartisan legislation. Let’s take a moment to say thank you.

Going Global

Last week a film crew from France was in Minnesota. Their goal was to gather information about Amara’s Law. They wanted to understand how Minnesota was able to pass such an impactful law while weaving in the personal stories of those of us who have worked to pass the law and have been impacted by PFAS in one way or another. Our state is setting an example for the world. France, Japan, England, Australia have all reached out to work with us and understand more about Amara’s Law. Now is not the time to slow down—we’re just getting started!
