FACT was started by around 300 Wisconsin teens in 2001.  FACT is a youth-led movement that takes action and creates change. We do it by exposing Big Tobacco's dirty secrets and deceptive practices, by empowering Wisconsin teens to stand up to an industry that's lying to us, and by understanding that FACT's fight is with the tobacco industry, not smokers. We all have to make our own decision. FACT just wants it to be an informed one.

Crawford County has recently received a mini-grant of $500 from FACT to help enable our local youth to be involved in current tobacco issues.  One of the tasks that we have under this mini-grant is to recruit 20 new FACT members.  We will also be attending and testifying at a Joint Finance Committee Hearing, and hosting an in-district legislative meeting.

If you are interested in being part of this new FACT movement, join us at our next YLC meeting.  Our meetings are held every other Wednesday from 3:30 – 4:30 at the CARE House in Prairie du Chien.  Check out when the next YLC meeting is.  If you have any further questions please call Emily at 608-357-2084.  We encourage you to check out the FACT web site at www.fightwithfact.com.
