Posted on August 18, 2017

At ADAO, we know that partnerships and collaboration are crucial elements of making change happen. We’re thrilled to share the wealth of international support coming from our global allies. 

As you’ve probably seen, ADAO has been circulating a change.org petition calling on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ban asbestos with no loopholes or exemptions. With more than 10,000 signatures to date, we have decided to submit the petition as evidence into the EPA’s permanent record on asbestos — supporting the need to ban this known carcinogen without exemptions. 

America’s asbestos policy impacts the whole world, so our international partners are pitching in to help us reach our goal of 25,000 signatures by September 15. 

Every Friday leading up to the deadline, we’ll be sharing an update from a different global ally with our petition signatories and with on this blog. Through these posts, you will learn why a ban in the U.S. is so important to the global struggle to eradicate asbestos and the devastating diseases it causes. 

Each name on the petition will go down in history as a voice who took a stand against asbestos. The more names on the petition when we submit it to the EPA, the stronger our message, so please SIGN if you haven’t already, and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. Our goal is to hit at least 25,000 by September 15.

Check back each Friday for the latest update, and please join me in sincerely thanking APHEDA and the other allies supporting our shared cause. Together, we will fight in solidarity until asbestos is banned once and for all.
