•66% of homeless people suffer from addiction
•44% of people in locally run jails & 43% of people in state prisons have a mental disorder
•68% of inmates suffer from addiction

Peshtigo, WI is one of many cities in the US with water poisoned by #ForeverChemicals—while the
EPA is delaying calling the substance what it is. PFAS are a menace to public health & should be banned with polluters fined to clean up & ensure clean water.
