At our OSH Activist Network Meeting on October 4, we had the opportunity to not only learn about pivotal campaigns that folks are moving on, but to show our solidarity with one another, including the promise to bring what we learned back to our communities.
There were four amazing presentations before we opened the floor to some general discussion and announcements:
Emily Reuman from the Breast Cancer Fund gave a presentation on exposure to toxic chemicals in cleaning products and a long-term campaign to reduce worker and consumer exposure to chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive harm, asthma, and allergies. She invited us to join in a 2017 campaign to pass legislation in California that would require disclosure of the ingredients on cleaning products so that this information can inform a federal regulatory effort.
