Check out Avonna's take on the hypocrisy taking place in St Paul related to Amara's Law and the threat PFAS pose to our environment and our health. Minnesotans deserve better than attempts to weaken Amara's Law while taxpayers pick up the tab. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/07/p...

🌎 This #WorldHealthDay, we celebrate state leaders putting health first. Toxic chemicals and plastics are showing up in our food, water, air, and everyday products without our consent. #StatesInTheLead are reducing exposure at the source and advancing safer solutions. 👏

Newborn babies deserve a healthy start free of toxic #phthalates found in #plastics. Phthalates are linked to developmental, reproductive & immune harm. To protect health, we need government & corporate policies that reduce the use of toxic plastics & dangerous chemical additives like phthalates!

A new Netflix documentary, #ThePlasticDetox, investigates how everyday exposure to chemicals in plastic is affecting human health. Toxic chemicals in plastics end up in our air, water, food, and products. The good news: states are stepping up and putting health first. 🧵

Your food packaging may be affecting your ability to have children. New York lawmakers can do something about it. Read a new op-ed from @judithenck.bsky.social and Shanna Swan to learn more: www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/27/t... 🏷️ @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, @leaderasc.bsky.social

As highlighted in #ThePlasticDetox, bisphenols are toxic chemicals linked to health and reproductive harm. This exposure is preventable! States are stepping up to phase them out of everyday products and make safer options the norm. #StatesInTheLead

As highlighted in #ThePlasticDetox, phthalates are toxic chemicals that can disrupt hormones and harm our health. The good news? States like CA, ME, NY, VT and NC have acted to ban them from products like food packaging, children’s items, cosmetics, and IV bags. #StatesInTheLead

"Every person in this country—especially #MAHA advocates—should be furious about this," says @judithenck.bsky.social about Republicans' new bill that would weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act, which regulates toxic chemicals like the #PFAS and phthalates in plastic. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

You can’t claim to “Make America Healthy Again” while weakening federal laws meant to protect us from toxic chemicals. Weakening laws like #TSCA puts our health at risk. Clean air, safe water, and products without toxic chemicals start with laws that put health first. thehill.com/opinion/heal...

States aren’t waiting! State leaders are acting to prevent toxic chemicals and plastics from contaminating our food, water, and everyday products before harm happens. This is what it looks like when health comes first. 👏 Read more here: www.thebrockovichreport.com/p/good-news-...

Scientists agree that microplastics are everywhere. They're in our oceans, our food, and even in our bodies. 🌊🥗🧠 There’s no debating it. WE NEED LESS PLASTIC, MORE REAL SOLUTIONS NOW. ⚠️🚨 @earthworks.bsky.social #microplastics #healthylife #plasticfree

When health is on the line, strong leadership matters. 💪 Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley is standing up for our health, our homes, and our communities by raising concerns about proposals that would weaken health protections. oeconline.org/senator-merk...

Weaving Voices for Health & Justice stands with the 40+ organizations that make up The Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals, as industry pushes to weaken #tsca, a law that reduces our exposure to chemicals that are harmful to our health. We're calling on Congress to prioritize health over profit.

🚨The Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals is sounding the alarm as industry pushes to weaken #TSCA, a law that keeps unsafe chemicals out of our homes, food, drinking water, and bodies. Congress must protect our health, not polluters.

“Children’s health must come first, yet the chemical industry is now lobbying to weaken the chemical law that protects our families,” the Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals, a coalition of public health groups, said in a statement. www.thenewlede.org/2026/02/heal...

Our 2026 analysis finds that reducing harmful chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products remains a top priority for many states. 🧴💄 #StatesInTheLead Read more here: www.saferstates.org/press-room/e...

❗️A new proposal in Congress could weaken our nation’s main chemical safety law. That means more toxic chemicals entering our food, water, homes, and schools. Health should come first. Congress must protect families, not polluters. Read more: www.saferstates.org/press-room/n...

It's time for MA to join this club. There are bills pending to protect residents from toxic #PFAS right now. Let's get this done in 2026! #mapoli

Count us IN.

Let's goooooooooo! Our small but mighty state is a leader in defending our water from toxic PFAS. Next up? Plastics.

🐱🐶 Great news! Add PetSmart to the list of retailers that are phasing out bisphenols from receipt paper. After Washington became the first state to ban all bisphenols in receipts, many retailers are eliminating them nationwide—protecting workers & shoppers from these toxic chemicals. #MindTheStore

Harmful #plastics are showing up in our water, food, and bodies. This year, states are expected to act to reduce plastic use, address toxic chemicals in plastics, and support reuse solutions. #StatesInTheLead 🙌 Read our 2026 analysis: www.saferstates.org/resource/202...

No one should have to worry about harmful chemicals in the water they drink or the food they eat. Our 2026 analysis finds at least 33 states are stepping up to address #PFAS, plastics, and other toxic chemicals. #StatesInTheLead Read more here: www.saferstates.org/press-room/e...

❗️A House bill would weaken #TSCA and roll back federal protections against toxic chemicals. As states continue to lead in protecting communities, Congress must put our health first and reject this bill. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Toxic Act is a chemical industry wish list that would weaken health protections and let more chemicals on the market without proper review. We need stronger chemical safety laws, not giveaways to polluters. Congress must stop the chemical industry from rolling back our health protections! #TSCA

🚨More than 300 legislators from across the country sent a clear message to Congress: do not weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act. CT legislators are HEAVILY represented because CT families don't want rollbacks to chemical safety protections! #TSCA #statesinthelead @saferstates.bsky.social

🚨More than 300 legislators from across the country just sent a clear message to Congress: do not weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act. RI legislators are HEAVILY represented because RI families don't want rollbacks to chemical safety protections! #TSCA @saferstates.bsky.social

Over 47 MA state legislators are among 300+ legislators pushing back against chemical industry efforts to weaken #TSCA and roll back health protections. The message to Congress: stand with communities, not polluters. @saferstates.bsky.social Read more: www.saferstates.org/market-and-f...

📈 The TOXIC Act would lead to more toxic chemicals, more cancer & more industry profit. It would roll back core public health protections, putting chemical industry profits over people’s health. We need stronger protections from toxic chemicals—not weaker ones. Congress must reject the TOXIC Act!

#StatesInTheLead have led the way in protecting toxic chemicals. Strong federal protections and strong state action go hand in hand. That’s why 300+ legislators are telling Congress: don’t undermine state authority or weaken #TSCA. Read more: www.saferstates.org/market-and-f...

❗️A new chemical industry-backed bill would weaken federal chemical protections, allowing more toxic chemicals into our homes, food, and water. As these safeguards face attack, states continue to lead. Congress must defend public health. Read more here: www.saferstates.org/press-room/h...

Some great news to start the new year! 👏 Toxic bisphenols don’t belong in everyday products. Washington’s new rule keeps these harmful chemicals out of receipts, protecting the health of cashiers and shoppers. This is a great example of state leadership. #StatesInTheLead
