Event Details
Join us for an evening with award-winning investigative journalist Mariah Blake, author of the gripping new book They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals.
Mariah Blake is an investigative journalist whose writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Mother Jones, The New Republic, and other publications. She was a Murrey Marder Nieman Fellow in Watchdog Journalism at Harvard University.
In this powerful exposé, Blake uncovers the chemical industry's decades-long campaign to hide the dangers of "forever chemicals" - toxic substances now found in the blood of nearly every person on earth. Told through the lens of a small town's fight for clean drinking water, They Poisoned the World is both a riveting environmental thriller and a deeply human story of grassroots activism. Blake will discuss the hidden history of these chemicals, the lives forever altered by their spread, and how ordinary citizens across the country are fighting back.

This event is co-sponsored by Citizens for Clean Water, the League of Conservation Voters, and the Sierra Club New Hampshire Chapter.
