🛑 STOP SCROLLING and help us celebrate a win! 🛑

The Charge Up Detroit walking path is IN. This ground was broken by hands that care about this community. A huge thank you to the Nunez Family (EIGHT members strong, working 30 hours!) and volunteers like Yusef Julian and Junior Fernandez-Murillo.

But here is the reality check: We are only 40% of the way to our goal. To keep this momentum moving forward, we need $25,000 by the end of this week.

How you can help right now:
1️⃣ Do you own a business or know one that wants to be a hero? We need 5 businesses to step up at the $1,000 level. This is your chance to partner with SDEV's 35-year legacy of uniting industry and residents.
2️⃣ Share this post with a person or company who believes in building stronger and greener.
3️⃣ Click the link to donate any amount.

For 35 years, we've turned conversations into action. Let's get to 100%!

PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” are used in products from clothes and carpets to cell phones and firefighting foam. Because of their industrial uses, PFAS pollution is rampant. These forever chemicals are everywhere, and as the name suggests, they don’t break down.

PFAS chemicals are linked to cancer, hormone disruption, autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and high cholesterol, and the risks are particularly high for pregnant people and newborns.

Learn more about the risks from PFAS and how you can mitigate those risks at the link in our bio: "PFAS in Home Gardens & Small Farms"
