We will protect Amara’s Law - it’s common sense and will save lives and tax payer dollars!
A lawsuit and social media posts have some concerned about an effort to dismantle Minnesota's PFAS ban. cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/l…
“Industry created PFAS and they can create the solution.
Be the solution. Work with us. We want businesses to succeed. Just not at the price of our lives.”
-Nora Strande
“Our Minnesota community has been blindsided and poisoned by toxic chemicals for decades. We can do better. And Amara’s Law is proof of that.” -Nora Strande
“I do not do this merely to keep Amara’s legacy alive. We advocate because it is common sense to fight corporate greed and keep toxic chemicals out of our homes.” -Michael Strande
“The health of our community, the cleanliness of environment and water is the most important thing to focus on right now.” -Senator Judy Seeberger, Chief Senate Author of Amara’s Law
Amara’s Law passed with bipartisan support. This was put together over many years, written and rewritten, with support from democrats and republicans. It is common sense law.
Amara’s Law passed in 2023 to make MN safer & healthier in our battle against toxic forever chemicals.
The chemical industry is back in MN & trying to reverse this vital law.
Give a gift today to help us protect MN’s water for future generations.

When @Tim_Walz was announced as the VP pick for @KamalaHarris many asked what this might mean for Amara's Law and PFAS regulation in general.
State Director @acarolines shared her thoughts with Inside EPA recently. insideepa.com/pfas-policy-sh…

Less toxics in Minnesota is one step closer to reality!
Last night a bill to stop requiring toxic flame retardants in tents passed! We're thrilled families will be safer when they camp & play with small toy tents. @NathanCoulter and @ErinMayeQuade - thank you. And thank you @KarinHousley for co-authoring and presenting in committee!
This year we had 2 students reach out to volunteer with a nonprofit for class.
Francis joined us & is working w/us to plan & host a townhall that will discuss what the next steps for Amara's Law. Part of the class was to create a "gift" for us. Check it out!
#PFAS update!

"What if my kids get sick and what if it’s because I breastfed them or took in too many chemicals while pregnant? What if I could have done more?" @acarolines gets personal...
Our State Director, @acarolines shares what motivates her to protect our water each & every day.
"I still really struggle to put into words the devastation that fills me when I read about how easily nursing parents pass things to their babies."
