Million Baby Crawl

Remember when the million man march, a vast grassroots movement, conveyed to the world a different picture of the African American man?

Move over men, it's baby time.

There's another march on the way, only it's not for a million men. It's not a march either--it's the Million Baby Crawl.

Seventh Generation has invited me to be a spokeswoman for the Million Baby Crawl, a movement to focus public attention on toxins in household products.

Currently the government only tests 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market. Who knows how many dangerous ingredients are sitting on our own shelves?
This movement is around to focus attention on protecting our families from toxins secreted in products on the shelves in every American home.

Yes, under our kitchen cabinets, there's a hotbed of toxic chemical soups marketed as cleansers, polishes, insecticides, etc.

The national dialogue about 'Kid Safe Chemicals ' is designed to focus national attention on chemicals used in everyday products, including those used in baby bottles and children's toys. With some attention from the public, we're hoping that Washington will amending the weakness of the current law known as the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), one of the reasons for the lack of safety and consumer protection.

You can join the crawl at the website:

You can visit a "crawl to action" event in in person in:
Boston,
Burlington,
Denver,
Minneapolis,
New York,
Portland, or
Seattle.
I hope many of you out there will join us on the Million Baby Crawl. The live events will include picture and sign-making opportunities, a computer station where you can join, entertainment, public appearances, a children's Crawl to the Capital area, a substance Control Act rally, free giveaways and more...

Maybe I'll see you there.
