John,

Toxic vinyl chloride is tearing apart frontline communities, devastating their health, and destroying their environment. Used to make PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this chemical is classified as a "High-Priority Chemical" under the Toxic Substances Control Act for good reason.

Vinyl chloride is a deadly carcinogen, directly linked to liver cancer and a host of other severe health problems. For decades, its presence has contaminated communities living near production facilities. The hardest hit? Low-income neighborhoods and communities of color are already burdened by industrial pollution.

In Louisiana alone, entire communities have been forced to relocate due to the toxic fallout of vinyl chloride emissions. The EPA has known about these dangers for years, and now, with the public comment period open until October 16, 2024, we have a crucial opportunity to demand action.

For too long, the poorest and most vulnerable communities have been forced to bear the brunt of this industrial poison and with The EPA holding a public comment period until October 16th we must act now.

Help ensure stronger regulations are enacted to protect these communities. Tell the EPA to step up and act now to prevent further harm.

SIGN AND SEND

Frontline communities deserve justice and protection, let's make sure they get it by demanding that the EPA:

Implement stricter regulations on vinyl chloride production, use, and disposal.
Increase monitoring and enforcement in areas with PVC facilities.
Provide relocation and health resources for impacted communities.
Invest in the research and development of safer alternatives to vinyl chloride.

The clock is ticking, and every moment we wait, more lives are endangered. The EPA has the power to protect vulnerable communities from this deadly chemical, but they need to hear from us.

Don't let vinyl chloride continue to wreak havoc unchecked. Speak up today and demand the EPA take meaningful action to save lives.

Thank you for standing with us in this critical fight for environmental justice.
