WHAT: Moms Clean Air Force will gather leading researchers, policymakers, mental health experts, doctors, and environmental justice advocates at the Moms Clean Air Force Annual Washington, DC Summit on Thursday, April 3, 2025 from 9am-12:30pm.

The summit will explore the latest research on perilous impacts of plastics on the human lifecycle.
