Just two weeks after financial assistance became available for people affected by the Garden Grove chemical tank crisis, United Way has stopped accepting new applications for the $3 million relief fund.

Periodic Table

Thousands of tons of forever chemicals are polluting Europe’s waters. EVERY. DAY. Forever chemicals like PFAS are contaminating our rivers, wildlife, and even our bodies, yet most remain unregulated. Meanwhile, chemical giants are lobbying to weaken EU water laws, complaining that the cost to keep it clean is too high. Meanwhile, taxpayers pay with their health AND face a €2 trillion clean-up bill. Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden have already proposed a universal PFAS ban.
