Briefing FlyerRSVP: Online form
On Tuesday, February 23, 2016 the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) will host our 9th Congressional Staff Briefing “Asbestos: Impact on Consumer Safety, Public Health, and Asbestos Victims’ Civil Rights” in Washington, D.C. In order to make this event a success and educate as many legislative decision-makers as possible, we need your help getting attendance.
Asbestos is responsible for 12,000 – 15,000 deaths each year in the USA, yet this killer chemical remains legal and lethal. More importantly, there is legislation that will be voted on soon that will impact consumers’ safety, public health, and asbestos victims’ civil rights.
Make Your Voice Heard.
We need your help! Congressional Staffers handle many important issues for their bosses – our lawmakers – and our briefing will greatly increase their understanding about “Asbestos: Impact on Consumer Safety, Public Health, and Asbestos Victims’ Civil Rights.”
TAKE ACTION. Call both of your two U.S. Senators and request that they send Judiciary, Health, and Environmental staffers to ADAO’s February 23rd one-hour luncheon briefing. Please see the script below.
