Work to protect Washington from toxic PFAS chemicals in our citizen outreach and field manager positions.

PFAS have been linked to cancer and developmental problems and are in everything from cookware to clothing. When those products are used or washed, they can release these “forever chemicals,” which end up in our drinking water. PFAS have been found in 20% of drinking water sources in Washington.

We’re hiring canvassers and field managers in our Seattle office to build support for getting our state leaders to get these toxic chemicals out of consumer products and protect our drinking water.
