Solutions for a Toxic-Free Tomorrow

Toxic chemicals in our food, water, and products are threatening our families, our climate, and our communities. But we have a vision and proven strategy for change. For the past two decades, we’ve empowered a grassroots movement and won major victories to protect environmental public health.

Today, with your help, we’ll continue to fight, find solutions, and Defend Our Health.

We’re developing solutions to keep toxic chemicals out of the U.S. food supply — eliminating chemical contamination on farms, in factories, in food packaging, and during preparation.
By strengthening drinking water standards and expanding water testing programs, we’re ensuring that this most vital resource is safe for all to drink.
It’s time to hold our government and corporations accountable and to tell them to keep toxic chemicals out of the products we use every day.
Toxic chemicals in plastic aren’t just polluting our bodies, they’re polluting our environment. Only systemic change now will put a stop to plastic pollution and slow climate change.
