Is extreme heat changing how you prioritize climate policy when deciding who gets your vote this fall?

Our planet is facing extreme heat that is not a fluke. It is a consequence of failed climate policy and leadership.

🚨 OUR HEALTH IS NOT A TWO-SIDED STREET 🚨

We are deeply disturbed by the eye-opening commentary by veteran journalist Craig Pittman in the Florida Phoenix News. It exposes how top lobbying firms are working both sides of the PFAS "forever chemicals" crisis.

On one side, these firms take massive corporate payouts from chemical giants to fight strict federal regulations. On the other, they collect taxpayer fees to represent the very Florida cities—like Fort Lauderdale, Winter Haven, and Palm Bay—desperately trying to clean these exact carcinogens out of our drinking water.

This is a direct threat to public health.

PFAS contaminants are linked to certain cancers, liver and kidney damage, reproductive and developmental harm, and immune system impairment. They have already been detected in nearly **two-thirds** of freshwater Florida springs tested.

Floridians deserve uncompromised representation, transparent governance, and clean, safe water. We cannot allow our health to be bargained away by firms playing both sides of a toxic fence.

A couple of millennia ago, when I was in elementary school, the teachers dispatched us kids to sell chocolate bars to support our school. That’s how I learned one of the basic principles of salesmanship: Make sure you hit the houses on BOTH sides of the street. Even the creepy ones that you try to...

There is so much remarkable progress happening with renewable energy, why not embrace it, instead of more fossil fuels in our community?

Board members Drs. Saff and Axelrad are sounding the alarm and raising awareness around PFAS. These "forever" chemicals are most likely coming from Tallahassee’s wastewater spray field and moving toward Wakulla Springs. Some private wells nearby are already testing positive for these toxic chemicals which are linked to certain cancers and thyroid disease.

This is exactly why our advocacy matters. Clean water doesn’t protect itself.

💧 We need transparency, more testing, and real accountability — now.

A group of doctors, geologists and local commissioners believe just under nine million Floridians have been exposed to PFAS, or “forever chemicals”

Board member, Dr. Ron Saff, speaks out on Florida's "Medical Freedom" Bill.

“As a doctor on the front lines, I'm seeing less and less of my patients get vaccines they need,” said Dr. Ron Saff, an allergist in Tallahassee, pointing to actions by Robert F. Kennedy, the Health and Human Services secretary, who has aligned with anti-vaccine groups.

“RFK Jr. may like this bill, but the Florida chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, the Florida chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Florida Academy of Family Physicians oppose it,” he said.

What are your thoughts? Are you for or against vaccine Mandates?

The debate in the Senate Appropriations Committee was vigorous at times, with some supporters unsure if they would support the measure on the chamber floor. A House companion bill has not yet been considered.

Excellent Op-Ed by board member Pam McVety in the Tallahassee Democrat! 📰

She highlights the real-world, local costs of removing the EPA Endangerment Finding. Knowledge is power—get the facts here:

Even though we are talking about a federal action, the impacts are always local and always personal.

Drs. Saff and Axelrad sound the alarm on forever chemicals.

Private wells are especially vulnerable because they are not federally regulated and often go untested, experts say
