Support the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011

With organizations in many other states, CCEJ is hoping to garner support for the federal Safe Chemicals Act which has been introduced by Sen. Lautenberg (NJ) and others. This legislation will help protect all Americans from toxic exposures by creating new rules to limit dangerous chemicals in our consumer goods and ensuring protections for vulnerable health communities.

We urge you to take a few minutes to craft a personalized letter to your senator asking them to support this important legislation. We have included sample letter language you may use as a base for your own letter.

I am a (insert something like mom, dad, aunt, nurse, doctor, concerned citizen etc). I am really concerned about toxic chemicals in consumer products and their impact on my family’s health. I’m writing Senator (add Senator name) to ask him/her to co-sponsor the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011. American families deserve to be protected from toxic chemicals in our homes, workplaces and communities.
