We are CICC of:
Toxic chemicals in our air, water, and soil.
Corporations profiting while our families get sick.
Empty promises instead of real, lasting solutions.
Being ignored by the very agencies meant to protect us.
Medical gaslighting when doctors downplay or dismiss our symptoms.
Politicians showing up for photo ops but disappearing when it’s time to act.
Generational harm children growing up exposed, with uncertain futures.
Cover-ups and secrecy instead of transparency and truth.
Having to do the work ourselves because no one else will.
Communities divided by misinformation and fear.
