Here’s a huge and unprecedented opportunity to take action to stop the toxic assault that threatens our communities and our children.
Right now some serious reforms to remove a great burden of pollutants from our lives are on the verge of success. We have a rare chance to make a major difference right now.
Among this generation of children, one in three is now sick with ADHD and autism, asthma, cancer, Down syndrome, obesity. Our children are born and raised in a toxic world. Their illnesses are triggered by pollutants.
We’ve organized this event to face this challenge. We can work together to remove these assaults.
Join us to talk about cleaning up our environment…about personal actions to protect our families…about how to change the system. Join us in launching this change.
