Water is Treasure – and so is our global community

January 21, 2025 | By Avonna Starck

A documentary film crew from Japan visited our community to screen their made-for-television film, Water is Treasure – Fighting PFAS Contamination! Fight for Life. The film chronicles how mothers in Japan are leading efforts to raise awareness about PFAS contamination in their drinking water, which they attribute to U.S. military bases and the use of PFAS-based firefighting foam, and weaves in stories from the United States.

Protect MN From PFAS: Defend Amara's Law!

In 2023, Minnesota passed the strongest PFAS prevention legislation in the country with bipartisan support. As a commonsense policy, Amara’s Law safeguards both lives and taxpayer dollars. Unfortunately this needed law is now under attack, at risk of carve-outs and exemptions. We need to preserve Amara's Law to protect the health of our communities. Send a message to your lawmakers today.
