Today the United Steelworkers, joined by Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) will launch a Stoptoxicimports.org campaign aimed at lead in children's products and other problems:

The U.S. leg of the campaign was announced at the Capitol a day after the effort kicked off in Toronto at the union's Women of Steel Conference, where nearly 1,000 activists received lead screening kits and planned international mobilization against toxic trade.

Women of Steel and the USW's Health, Safety and the Environment team will conduct "Safe Home Sessions" across the United States and Canada, where they will do lead testing and provide training on how to remove lead products, education about trade issues and tips for political action.
