Our communities have some of the highest levels of PFAS contamination in the nation due to the firefighting foams used on military bases. They've not only experienced the health effects, but, in many cases, they’ve been forced to foot the bill to filter these chemicals from their drinking water.

For over a year, residents in Plymouth Township have been fighting the development of a hyperscale data center at 900 Conshohocken Road. They’ve attended zoning hearings, circulated petitions and asked tough questions, all while a company worth billions treated their neighborhood as a line item.
