Combating Military Poisons for Clean Water

Past event
Mar 21, 2021, 5 to 6 PM

On Sunday, March 21st--the day before World Water Day--we are offering a webinar to introduce people to our newly designed website—Military Poisons—which exposes the connections between water, food, and health to military PFAS contamination. The webinar will be one-hour starting at 5 PM-EST. Register in advance for this program at: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcode6vpzwoG9UKxt0opX2MP2_WqxDHDBLt After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Seating is limited to 100 registrants.

This reformatted website is both a resource and research tool for those who want to learn more about PFAS contamination and the military and take grassroots action. WILPF US member Pat Elder started the Military Poisons website in 2019 as part of Earth Democracy's California PFAS tour.

This presentation will introduce you to the newest PFAS and the Military Project that is starting in Vermont. You'll hear about the Vermont Project and from those working on it, including Pat Elder, a PFAS investigative journalist; Patricia Hynes, women's and public health expert; Marguerite Adelman, WILPF Burlington Team Leader; Kyendamina Cleophace Mukeba, Community Outreach Coordinator; and James Ehlers, Vermont Project Coordinator and Environmental Advocate.
