Can you believe it's September already?! They say times flies when you're having fun, and apparently, it also flies when you're changing the world! The ADAO community has accomplished lots so far in 2016, and August was no exception.
We've got great momentum going into our DC trip--last week, U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer sent a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy supporting ADAO's position and calling for asbestos to be banned under TSCA.
In addition to our upcoming work in Washington, with Mesothelioma Awareness Day on September 26, this will also be a month of uniting the community through social sharing and exciting activities. We're continuing our impactful Raise Your Voice social media campaign throughout the month, and we're hosting two Twitter chats about coping with mesothelioma and raising asbestos awareness. We're also working to finalize our 2016 Mesothelioma Warrior Memorial Dedication Video, which will be published on Mesothelioma Awareness Day.
As we dive into this busy, exciting month, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you.
As supporters, volunteers, donors, and sponsors, you are the heart, soul, and life force behind ADAO. We've made a 2016 by-the-numbers infographic to illustrate just how powerful our collective activism is--thanks largely to the support of our Platinum Sponsors Motley Rice LLC and Simmons Hanly Conroy LLC, and Gold Sponsor Simon Greenstone Panatier Bartlett. Everything our organization accomplishes in the name of asbestos victims is all thanks to the generous donations of time, money, and leadership from our phenomenal ADAO family. I am endlessly grateful to each and every one of you.
In unity always,
