Mark Ruffalo Urges Congress to Take Action on 'Forever Chemicals' Ahead of 'Dark Waters' Premiere

Mark Ruffalo is getting political ahead of the release of his new film Dark Waters.

The 51-year-old Avengers: Endgame actor and activist spoke at the Fight Forever Chemicals Campaign kick off event on Capitol Hill on Tuesday (November 19) in Washington, DC.

“We need our leaders to act NOW to #FightForeverChemicals,” Mark captioned the Instagram video below. “For me, @darkwatersmovie is a chance to combine two things I’m most passionate about: storytelling and activism. It was an honor to stand before lawmakers today with real-life heroes Rob Bilott, Mark Favors, Bucky Bailey, @environmentalworkinggroup, and @nrdc_org to urge them to take immediate action to regulate #PFAs.”

“Our leaders have the power to do something about forever chemicals, they just need to act,” Mark added. “And they need to act fast. You can join me today in demanding action against #PFAs at fightforeverchemicals.com, link in my bio. Together, we can ensure communities across the country receive the safety they deserve.”

That same day, Mark Ruffalo also attended the Washington, DC, premiere of the Dark Waters.

Dark Waters premieres on November 22. Watch the trailer!
