We’re having a Twitter party! Please join us to tweet about toxic chemical reform!

Twitter party May 12th!With the Safe Chemicals Act just introduced in Congress, we thought it would be a good time to host a Twitter party on the topic of toxic chemicals!

At our Twitter party we will bring expert panelists together to answer your questions about toxic chemicals, show you how to protect your family and let you know why passage of the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 is so critically important.
