The Toxics Action Center is the "911" of the Environmental Movement. Since 1997, we have helped over 25 neighborhood groups throughout Connecticut clean up hazardous waste sites, reduce the use of industrial toxins, decrease industrial pollution, and oppose the siting of dangerous facilities. When the government won't take action and the company denies there's a problem, we're a resource for residents concerned with environmental health hazards in their communities. We provides residents with information about environmental laws, strategies for organizing against polluters, a network of activists throughout the state, and access to legal and technical experts. The Toxics Action Center is funded by donations from concerned citizens and grants from private foundations. This financial support enables us to provide our services free of charge to neighborhoods facing the threats of toxic pollution.
