Moms to the rescue! We know you’re a superhero. That’s why we need you to show Congress how to be a superhero for kids!

This Wednesday, moms and kids across the country will come together for a national day of action to ask our Senators to be superheroes for kids and support comprehensive chemicals reform.

Toxic chemicals found in everyday items such as canned goods, plastic wrappers, cookware and drinking water, are linked to cancer, early onset puberty, and obesity. With comprehensive chemical reform, we can use the best science to give families and businesses the information they need to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Join parents and kids across the country at one of the Stroller Brigades! We’ll even provide super hero capes for kids to wear. Bring your friends, bring your families, everyone is welcome!

(Psst: We know that not everyone can join these moms in-person on Wednesday. But even if you can't be there in-person, you can still play an important role. We're doing online Day of Action activities all day on August 10th. Check our Facebook page and blog for more details as we get closer to the event.)
