Advocacy

The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) collaborates with various national and international organizations to promote public health and advocate for an end to asbestos use. Each April, ADAO organizes an annual Global Asbestos Awareness Week, which was launched following our successful initiative to pass Senate Resolution 376, which designates the first week of April as “National Asbestos Awareness Week” in the U.S. Additionally, since 2004, ADAO has hosted several briefings for the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House.
