December 9th is a National Day of Action on Safer Chemicals. What if we told you that just 60 seconds of your time could have a big impact? Thousands of people from across the country are calling Congress to ask for STRONG laws on toxic chemicals. We need you to call too. Please call your Senators today. Click here for contact information.

A sample message:

“Hi my name is _______ and I am a nurse. I am very concerned about toxic chemicals in consumer products, the places we live and work and their impact on the health of my patients, family, and community. I’m calling Senator ___________ to ask him/her to make sure that reform of our toxic chemical laws is REAL. The bill before the Senate, the Chemical Safety Improvement Act – as drafted – does not have my support. Reform must be real and protect pregnant women, children and hot spot communities. I urge Senator _____ to stand up for REAL reform of our toxic chemical laws.”

Phone calls are very important way for your Senators to know how you feel. In short: Your calls work. Let your Senators know that in order to win your support for reform, it must meet the recommendations of the mainstream medical community.
