Dear Friends,

Every day, the work of the Science & Environmental Health Network is inspired by our many allies who support, collaborate, inspire and challenge us. Your friendship and collegiality keeps us going. In these blossoming days of summer, can you give a financial gift to SEHN to support our work?

On any given day, the small but mighty six-person staff of SEHN might be:

• Giving a speech to pediatricians on environmental links to birth defects in the morning, and being interviewed by a reporter on nutrition and poverty in the afternoon;
• Collaborating with a grassroots community group on how to design a scientific study measuring toxins in our bodies;
• Imagining what a safer world might look like 25 or 40 years from now, and working with young people on a plan to make it come true;
• Collecting studies across disciplines showing the financial benefits of sound environmental policies, and posting them to our online "True Cost Clearinghouse" so other advocates can use them;
• Working with a public health department to implement precautionary decisionmaking in their county-wide public health practice;
• Talking with law professors to uncover the roots of why our current environmental laws don't adequately protect our health and environment, and how to fix them;
• Managing our non-profit organization's finances and administration, to keep our operations smooth and functional.

It also means that your tax-deductible gift to SEHN goes a very long way.

As we enjoy the lovely long days of summer, can you help SEHN create a more beautiful, safe and healthy world?

We thank you so much for your support.
