The
Fluoride Action Network (FAN) has created a new video series to provide
the public and decision-makers with a basic understanding of fluoride,
to dispel myths surrounding fluoridation, and
answer common questions.
The series, entitled “Fluoride Fundamentals,” is being launched today
with a short video featuring FAN’s Director Paul Connett, PhD, answering
the question: “Is Fluoride a Nutrient?”
FAN’s
Education and Outreach Director, Jay Sanders, along with Connett, have
already produced numerous videos that cover topics including,
concentration vs. dose, naturally occurring fluoride, sources of
fluoride exposure, the Nazi myth, and more. The videos are short,
engaging, science-focused, and meant to be shared far and wide.
Please post our first video on your own social media pages, or like, comment, and share FAN’s Facebook post
containing the video. Please also post the video as a comment anytime
you see a fluoridation discussion on social media, or in the comments
beneath fluoride-related online news articles.
FIRST STEPS: Moms2B Avoid Fluoride
Hopefully
by now you’ve spoken to your family members, friends, neighbors, and
co-workers about the elevated risk fluoride poses to the fetus during
pregnancy. Consider taking a few more “First Steps” to help us spread
the word about the Moms2B Avoid Fluoride campaign. You could even get a
free t-shirt and bumper stickers!
1-“Like” and review our
Moms2B Facebook page. This is an easy way to maintain contact with
this educational effort, and learn about new resources, research, and
progress. This also enables you to quickly share our posts on the
subject, making education and outreach even easier.
2- Distribute this flyer
to your health food stores, coffee shops, post office, libraries,
laundromats, community centers, area WIC offices, daycares, local
women’s health centers, bus stops and stations, and wherever an
accessible bulletin board or a public space with a lot of pedestrian
traffic. Hand materials out at area events, farmers markets, “4th”
Trimester meetings, yoga classes, book clubs, or anywhere else you’ll
find a captive audience.
3- Send letters-to-the-editor to your local newspapers. This is a useful way to educate residents, journalists, and community leaders simultaneously.

Moms2B Update from Vermont
Campaigner
and FAN Editorial Advisor, Jack Crowther, has been busy educating the
citizens of Rutland, Vermont about our Moms2B campaign. He recently
shared the following update and strategy suggestion, which we hope
others will be inspired by:
Here's an update on what I'm up to in Rutland:
1. Sent this letter to the local school board asking to appear and present on the fluoride-neurotoxicity/IQ research and findings. I attached the FAN flyer to my letter to prep them.
My thinking is that school board members are less political than city councilors, less worried about being popular and serving more out of an interest in education. Therefore they might be more open-minded about re-examining fluoridation. If they would take a position against it, it might induce the Board of Aldermen (our version of a city council) to re-examine the issue.
2. I'm having two 3' X 4' banners printed at Staples (<$100) to mount on a large piece of lauan plywood and display in a rack on the back of my pickup. Here is a picture of the banner that I put together on the computer from components published by FAN.
Please
consider how you can utilize the same strategy in your community, or
use FAN materials to create your own campaign strategy; then share your
ideas and updates with fellow campaigners by emailing your achivements
and thoughts to: Moms2b@fluoridealert.org
