Alaska Community Action on Toxics

Alaska Community Action on Toxics (ACAT) works with communities, implementing effective strategies to limit their exposure to toxic substances and to protect and restore the ecosystems that sustain them and their way of life. With a focus on Environmental Health impacts in the Arctic region, they work to eliminate the production and release of harmful chemicals by industry and military sources, ensure the public’s right-to-know, achieve policies based on the precautionary principle, and support the rights of Indigenous peoples. ACAT coordinates CHE-Alaska, providing opportunities to learn about the best available science through CHE-related activities, such as partnership webinars and news updates.

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) is a national organization working to eliminate toxic chemicals and other environmental exposures that lead to breast cancer. They translate science on environmental drivers into education and action, press businesses to make products safer, and work to pass health-protective laws.

Center for Environmental Health

Center for Environmental Health (CEH) protects people from toxic chemicals by working with communities, consumers, workers, government, and the private sector to demand and support business practices that are safe for public health and the environment.

Project TENDR (Targeting Environmental Neuro-Developmental Risks) is an alliance of more than 50 leading scientists, health professionals, and advocates working to protect children from toxic chemicals and pollutants that harm brain development. They prioritize ending the disproportionate exposures to these chemicals and pollutants and greater impacts experienced by children of color and in families with low incomes. Project TENDR joins scientific evidence with advocacy, to inform and empower decision makers to create policies ensuring no child is exposed to chemicals contributing to neurodevelopmental disorders.

Silent Spring Institute

Silent Spring Institute is a mission-driven scientific research organization dedicated to uncovering the environmental causes of breast cancer. The institute works to create new knowledge about cancer-causing chemicals—how we are exposed and how they affect our health—as well as strategies for reducing harmful exposures. Silent Spring's science has played a pivotal role in strengthening numerous policies to protect consumers from toxics while making cancer prevention a national research priority.
