Weaving Voices for Health & Justice stands with the 40+ organizations that make up The Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals, as industry pushes to weaken #tsca, a law that reduces our exposure to chemicals that are harmful to our health. We're calling on Congress to prioritize health over profit.
🚨The Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals is sounding the alarm as industry pushes to weaken #TSCA, a law that keeps unsafe chemicals out of our homes, food, drinking water, and bodies.
Congress must protect our health, not polluters.
“Children’s health must come first, yet the chemical industry is now lobbying to weaken the chemical law that protects our families,” the Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals, a coalition of public health groups, said in a statement.

❗️A new proposal in Congress could weaken our nation’s main chemical safety law. That means more toxic chemicals entering our food, water, homes, and schools.
Health should come first. Congress must protect families, not polluters.

It's time for MA to join this club. There are bills pending to protect residents from toxic #PFAS right now. Let's get this done in 2026! #mapoli
Count us IN.
Let's goooooooooo! Our small but mighty state is a leader in defending our water from toxic PFAS. Next up? Plastics.
🐱🐶 Great news! Add PetSmart to the list of retailers that are phasing out bisphenols from receipt paper.
After Washington became the first state to ban all bisphenols in receipts, many retailers are eliminating them nationwide—protecting workers & shoppers from these toxic chemicals. #MindTheStore
Harmful #plastics are showing up in our water, food, and bodies. This year, states are expected to act to reduce plastic use, address toxic chemicals in plastics, and support reuse solutions. #StatesInTheLead 🙌

❗️A House bill would weaken #TSCA and roll back federal protections against toxic chemicals. As states continue to lead in protecting communities, Congress must put our health first and reject this bill.

The Toxic Act is a chemical industry wish list that would weaken health protections and let more chemicals on the market without proper review.
We need stronger chemical safety laws, not giveaways to polluters. Congress must stop the chemical industry from rolling back our health protections! #TSCA

🚨More than 300 legislators from across the country sent a clear message to Congress: do not weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act.
CT legislators are HEAVILY represented because CT families don't want rollbacks to chemical safety protections! #TSCA #statesinthelead @saferstates.bsky.social

📈 The TOXIC Act would lead to more toxic chemicals, more cancer & more industry profit.
It would roll back core public health protections, putting chemical industry profits over people’s health. We need stronger protections from toxic chemicals—not weaker ones. Congress must reject the TOXIC Act!
#StatesInTheLead have led the way in protecting toxic chemicals. Strong federal protections and strong state action go hand in hand. That’s why 300+ legislators are telling Congress: don’t undermine state authority or weaken #TSCA.

❗️A new chemical industry-backed bill would weaken federal chemical protections, allowing more toxic chemicals into our homes, food, and water. As these safeguards face attack, states continue to lead. Congress must defend public health.

Some great news to start the new year! 👏
Toxic bisphenols don’t belong in everyday products. Washington’s new rule keeps these harmful chemicals out of receipts, protecting the health of cashiers and shoppers. This is a great example of state leadership. #StatesInTheLead

Congress must protect our health, not polluters.
❗️The chemical lobby is pushing Congress to weaken TSCA, the nation’s main chemical safety law.
