It's time for the chemical industry to do its part.

Enough is enough. Nearly seven years after Sept. 11, we’re all doing our part to follow the new security rules, but most chemical plants haven’t even switched to safer alternatives.

This month, the House Homeland Security Committee is working on a new bill to require chemical facilities to do just that. Help us convince them.

Petition Text:

Nearly 7,000 chemical plants store dangerous quantities of acutely toxic chemicals. A single accident or deliberate release of these toxics could kill or seriously injure thousands.

We know that safe, cost-effective alternatives to these toxic chemicals already exist.

That’s why I support a switch to these safer alternatives, which is the most effective way to keep nearby residents and workers safe in the event of an accident or attack. 

Please do everything you can to support a bill that would push back against the power and influence of the chemical industry and keep us truly safe. The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Act would be a good first step in that direction.
