[[link removed]]URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Tell the EPA to ban the TOXIC, CANCER-CAUSING chemical
vinyl chloride! Sign now!
[[link removed]]
If the name vinyl chloride sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because it’s
been all over the news. Do you remember the catastrophic train derailment in
East Palestine, Ohio, Friend? After a massive explosion , residents found fish floating lifelessly down streams. People suffered from sore throats and burning eyes. We won’t be able to comprehend the long-term effects for years -- but they’ll
be devastating.
That train was carrying vinyl chloride, the building block of PVC plastic, and a
known human carcinogen, linked to leukemia, liver, brain, and many other types of cancer. This DANGEROUS chemical has no place anywhere near our communities or in our
ecosystems. Please, Friend, will you take just 30 seconds and TELL
THE EPA TO BAN VINYL CHLORIDE before it poisons other communities and wildlife?
Add your name by 11:59pm TONIGHT!

[[link removed]]What happened in East Palestine was a tragedy -- and it was preventable. We can
STOP more disasters from happening. We can STOP vinyl chloride from poisoning
communities and causing cancer in children, seniors, and other vulnerable
populations. But we NEED YOUR HELP to do it, Friend.
The EPA has the power to BAN vinyl chloride. Doing so would protect our communities and the planet from this toxic chemical. But we need 7,347 more signatures to reach our goal and send a POWERFUL message
to the EPA. Please take immediate action and help BAN vinyl chloride before it
does any more damage!
