December 2, 2016
A huge thanks to all who have donated so far. We have received $630 from 11 donors. To
reach our goal, we need to raise $150,000 from 1000 donors by midnight
December 31, 2016. We need your help and support to continue our work
as most of our funding each year comes from our individual supporters
who are on the frontline campaigning against fluoridation. If you wish
to help FAN's campaign to end water fluoridation - and especially in the
U.S. where this reckless practice began - please donate today.
All
donations are tax-deductible under the 501-c3 status of our parent
organization the American Environmental Health Studies Project, Inc
(AEHSP).
To make a donation more attractive to you one of our super-angels has promised to DOUBLE all donations made today and tomorrow up to a total of $5,000. So please donate to us today and make your donation go twice as far.
(See donation details below)
Four Ways You Can Take Action Immediately:
Our petition
to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could ultimately end
the practice of water fluoridation throughout the U.S., which could
result in a domino effect throughout the world. It’s crucial that we
take advantage of this opportunity by doing all we can to share this
information with decision-makers, journalists, and professionals, while
simultaneously showing the EPA that there’s a broad coalition of
support. Below, we have four ways that you can take action right
now--at your computer or on your mobile device—to help boost the
momentum behind the petition and raise awareness:
1. Endorse FAN’s Petition to the EPA
Earlier
this year, FAN successfully submitted a comment in support of our
petition to the FDA with over 11,000 co-signers from around the U.S.
We’d like to bring that same level of public attention and support to
our EPA petition. Help put pressure on regulators to do their job to
protect our children from unnecessary exposure to neurotoxins. Add your
name in support of our EPA citizen’s petition. All signatures
collected will be submitted to the EPA as a supportive comment prior to
the EPA's response deadline.
Professionals,
World Alliance members, and any interested organizations or campaigns
that would like to add their names to the EPA petition can also email
our Outreach Director, Jay Sanders: jaystandards@yahoo.com
2. Share our social media posts about Petition to EPA –
Our
Facebook post on the EPA petition is starting to go viral, with nearly
30,000 people reached, over 425 shares, 250 likes, and many comments.
The accompanying short video has now been viewed over 8000 times in just
24 hours on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Together, we can make
these posts go viral, exposing this information to thousands more:
- If you have a Facebook account, please click here, then like and share our post. Feel free to add a supportive comment and join over 81,000 others by “liking” our page if you haven’t already.
- If you have a Twitter account, please click here, then like and re-tweet our post. Please also join over 3,600 supporters and follow our page.
- Please also share our short YouTube video, and join the 3,600 people who have subscribed to our page.
To
help spread this critical information regarding fluoride and brain
development, please share our press release with your local media
outlets (newspapers, radio stations, TV news outlets). We suggest emailing this version of the release to the news department or editors of your local news outlets. Simply Google “submit press release (name of local paper)”
and locate the email address or online submission form to submit news,
or to contact the news editor. In your email/submission please also
include the following link to the shorter summary of the petition.
If
you know a local journalist personally, or have seen one recently cover
the issue of fluoridation, this would be the ideal contact to send the
release to.
We
suggest that local fluoride-free campaigns also share the press release
as-is along with the summary, but add an introductory paragraph
informing the editor/journalist that your campaign has been organized
locally to end fluoridation, and that you are also a co-signer on the
petition. Use it as an opportunity to launch or promote your local
group.
4. Make a charitable donation:
Help
ensure that the momentum behind our petition, and the pressure on
federal regulators, remains strong by contributing to our educational
and campaign efforts. Also, help us ensure that regulators are held
accountable legally if they choose to ignore our petition. The
potential lawsuit associated with the petition could be the nail in the
coffin for fluoridation worldwide.
