Moms Clean Air Force

Politicians in Congress, encouraged by irresponsible corporations and lobbyists, are trying to gut the Clean Air Act and dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency. When you get right down to it, they're fighting for the right to pollute our air. Polluters have money. And political influence. But moms have love. That is powerful, too. We have to harness our strength to fight back against polluters--because air pollution harms fetuses, babies and toddlers most of all. We're asking moms to join together, to come out in strength for our kids' right to clean air — just as our parents fought for us, forty years ago, when the Clean Air Act was first passed. Our children can't fight for themselves. We have to fight for them.
