Washington Toxics Coalition

Mission Statement

Washington Toxics Coalition is a membership organization which advocates reduced reliance on toxic chemicals and the elimination of the production, use and release of those toxic chemicals which persist and bioaccumulate, threaten species survival, or cause severe injury. Through staff and volunteers, the Toxics Coalition seeks to achieve its goals through proactive education and advocacy, distributing model alternative policies and practices, challenging existing premises about pollution control, empowering activists by providing information and technical assistance in grassroots organizing, working with diverse coalitions in local and global forums, engaging in litigation, and acting as a credible and accurate information resource for policy makers and the general public.
