While much environmental legislation proceeds slowly or not at all given our polarized politics, toxics legislation is actually moving in the U.S. Congress and a handful of states. Will federal legislation making its way through Congress right now reduce the risks from toxic exposures or eliminate current protections—setting the environmental community back for years to come?  The Environmental Grantmakers Association, Rachel's Network and the Health and Environmental Funders Network invite you to join this funder webinar to find out about the state of play, the campaigns behind the headlines, and the risks and possible benefits of reforming the nation’s toxics policies in the current political environment.
