Hi folks,

Following up on our PFAS call, here is the latest social guidance, toolkit, target list and Superfund memo.

If your group is able to support H.R. 535, please contact Jared Hayes (jhayes@ewg.org) directly if you haven’t done so already.

In addition, please consider:

•  Mobilizing grassroots through an action alert

•  Mobilizing grass tops in key districts

•  Publishing blogs and offering op-eds on PFAS

•  Contacting editorial boards in key states

•  Pledging to score the H.R. 535 vote if you have a scorecard

Here are some additional materials that may help but let me know if any questions come up.
