About our partners:

The Public Health Institute (PHI) is a nonprofit organization that focuses on education and strategy development to build alliances for social and economic justice. Founded in 1986 in the wake of the Bhopal tragedy in India, PHI helps labor, environmentalists, and public health groups understand each other’s issues, foster positive dialogue, and search for common ground.

The Center for Environmental Health is working to eliminate the threat that industrial chemicals pose to children, families, and communities. The Center has been at the forefront of helping get lead-laced children’s products off of store shelves, including vinyl baby bibs and lunch boxes. The Center also is a strong crusader for holding the Consumer Product Safety Commission accountable and exposing its flaws.
