Contact your legislators today to tell them to protect Rhode Islanders from toxic PFAS

You’ve been hearing from us for years about the dangers of PFAS and why it's so important that our Rhode Island legislators enact policies to remove these chemicals from our food packaging. We finally have the opportunity to get a PFAS bill (HB5356 and S110) over the finish line, but your representatives need to hear from you.

Take Action! Send your representatives an email telling them why this legislation is so important to you!
