Dear Friends,

Your work has made national television!

Tune in to NBC tomorrow night, Tuesday, February 6th, at 10 pm EST to watch Law and Order: SVU.

This new episode, "Loophole" is a fictional story based on the CHEERS study, which each of you contributed to halting in its tracks. In the episode, a fictional chemical company tests several children and their families with a dangerous organophosphate pesticide. The show will deal with such issues as environmental injustices, inadequate pesticide regulation, and the lack of regulation and public awareness on the long term health impacts of toxic exposures.

Without each of you taking action and contributing to the national outcry to ban testing pesticides on pregnant women and children, the immoral actions of EPA and pesticide companies would still be putting our most vulnerable at risk. Thank you for your great work.

In solidarity,
Stacey Gonzalez
