Those who endorse the Statement of Principles are endorsing the statement only, not specific campaigns or positions on specific toxics issues. Positions and specific campaigns are endorsed by Caucuses of the Alliance or by individual groups, not by the Alliance itself. All groups agreeing with the Statement of Principles can endorse it. Individuals not affiliated with a particular group can also endorse. The ZTA has already attracted national attention in both the U.S. and Canada.
Prevention is the only rational strategy against toxics exposures and contamination.
By uniting with one another, all of us who recognize this basic fact, can build the movement we need to make prevention a reality, rather than a distant goal. Too often the victims of toxic pollution have worked in isolation rather than in coordination with one another. The Zero Toxics Alliance offers a forum in which we can work together. As more and more groups endorse the Statement of Principles, we can each argue with greater effectiveness for prevention. We can each link our own efforts to those of a large and powerful movement.
