Devil We Know Screening and Panel with CLF

Conservation Law Foundation forges lasting solutions to environmental challenges for the people of New England. For more than 50 years, CLF has taken on powerful opponents who would pollute our air and water and squander our resources. Our deep local knowledge, legal acumen, and policy expertise make CLF a prime mover in building our clean energy future, countering climate change, and safeguarding our communities. We never give up and go home because we are home.

Toxic chemicals from everyday products are tainting our drinking water. This class of substances, called PFAS, was developed to make non-stick coatings, cosmetics, take-out containers, and more. Today, PFAS have been found in the bloodstreams of fish, wildlife, and humans all across the country. One town in West Virginia took on a powerful maker of these poisons. Its story has now been made into the documentary “The Devil We Know.” Join us for a free screening of this gripping film to learn how a group of ordinary people held one of the country’s biggest corporations accountable for its toxic pollution.
This event is hosted by Conservation Law Foundation.  Panelists include:

<LI>Sean Mahoney, Executive Vice President, Director of Programs and Director of CLF’s Maine Advocacy Center</LI>

Patrick MacRoy, Deputy Director, Environmental Health Strategy Center

 Stay after the film for a discussion about how CLF and our partners are fighting to protect Maine and all of New England from these dangerous PFAS chemicals here at home.
