“The sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us.”
Joe Biden has stayed true to these words again and again over a lifetime of service to the American people. Thank you, @POTUS.

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

Let's cut packaging by 50% in New York and set a precedent for other states to follow. We're calling on the New York state legislature to be on the right side of history. Read the full @nytimes @HilaryNYC story: shorturl.at/UEdNy

The NY Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act (A5322b/S4246b) would ban 19 of the most toxic chemicals and substances currently used in packaging, including lead, PFAS, formaldehyde, phthalates, cadmium & bisphenols. But time is running out to pass it! Call today: actionnetwork.org/forms/make…

There are 16,000 chemicals used in plastics. Of those, 26% are considered "of concern" (aka hazardous), 62.4% THAT WE HAVE NO SAFETY DATA ON(!), & the remaining 11.3% are not considered problematic. We need to get toxic chemicals out of plastic & stop making so much plastic. NOW!
