Voter suppression was rampant throughout the midterm elections. Millions of voters were purged from rolls, polling places were shut down, and discriminatory gerrymandering diluted the power of people’s voices.
At least 7 million Americans living near 131 military sites could be exposed to unsafe levels of PFAS, a set of chemical compounds linked to health risks like cancer, fetal health disorders, and liver damage.¹ That’s the disturbing finding of a recent UCS report that looks at contamination levels at military sites across the country.² Documents we obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request showed levels of PFAS that exceeded established safety thresholds at 130 of the 131 sites.
