For yourself, your sister, friend, wife, girlfriend, or mother

The Issue

Everyday women are using cosmetic products with potentially cancer causing ingredients such as parabens and phthalates. Women should know about the harmful ingredients of everyday products they use. Because cosmetics do not have to be FDA approved they are put on the shelves without being regulated. This is potentially very harmful to the women you care about. This could be you, your wife, mother sister, daughter or friend. I kindly urge you to help put a stop to this! Demand that your cosmetics be FDA approved and push companies to use safer alternatives which they know are available! You are worth it and all the women you know are worth it.

Ashley ChapmanPetition StarterCurrently working to end violence against women in my community. Passionate about human rights, and the planet. Its all conccected. If you care about people, you care about the planet because we all need the earth and clean air to survive. Poverty, greed, patriarchy and polution are all connected and causing damage in so many individual lives, and yet the privledged are touched less by it and so don't notice these global issues. Yet the privledged hold the power. Ignorance is bliss but it is also killing us, as well as corporate globalization. I am interested and passionate about all of these things. I am hopeful that more and more people are becoming aware. "Im no fighter but Im fighting, this whole world seems uninviting. But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up." ~Patty Griffin
