Thank the EPA for Finally Banning Asbestos

In a landmark public health decision, the EPA declared a ban on asbestos — a triumph for every American. This carcinogen has claimed thousands of lives, and finally, action has been taken to end its silent rampage.

Our battle against the marginalization of our most vulnerable communities has led us here. Workers, often from marginalized communities, have suffered the most, facing the dire consequences of asbestos exposure without reprieve — until now.

The ban on chrysotile asbestos, the last commercially used form of this toxic mineral, represents our society's commitment to safeguarding health, embracing environmental responsibility, and ensuring that the jobs we work do not come at the cost of our lives.

Join us in thanking the EPA for enacting this life-saving ban. Add your name to the petition.

For decades, asbestos has symbolized the struggle between industry and health. Today, we celebrate a significant victory, but our work continues. We must remain vigilant, ensuring all harmful substances are kept away from our workplaces, homes, and environment.

Your voice has been heard, your efforts have made a difference, and we have achieved a monumental win.

Now, let's express our gratitude and support for the EPA's bold action. 

Sign our petition to thank the EPA today for standing on the right side of history. Let's honor the lives affected by asbestos and commit to a future where no one has to sacrifice their health for their livelihood.
