The Word in Washingon: Chemical Security

By Meshawn Ayala

I just got an email from Alex, our toxics advocate in DC, and it seems that progress is being made on the comprehensive chemical security bill we've all been pushing for. According to Alex we need your help; here's what he wrote:

   On Tuesday July 24th, the House Homeland Security Committee will hold a hearing on chemical plant security. This hearing is a step in the right direction and we understand that a chemical security bill may soon be introduced.  In fact the bill has already been written but unfortunately is held up in process.

   Can you get in touch with all your members today and ask them to help so that we can tip the balance and ensure this bill gets introduced before August.

   Thanks, Alex
