Communities Taking Action for Childhood Cancer Prevention
Communities across the country have mobilized to protect children from toxic chemicals in the environment. On this panel, we’ll hear about specific health threats in different communities and ways that community members are addressing those threats. We’ll discuss how people working in different sectors can support their efforts, and similar advocacy to make sure all kids are safe in the places they live, learn and play.
