• Mission:  Politicians in Congress, encouraged by irresponsible corporations and lobbyists for polluters, are trying to gut the Clean Air Act and dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency. They are fighting for the right to pollute our air. Lined up against them to strengthen clean air regulations are some of the most respected medical organizations in the world: The American Lung Association; the American Medical Association; the American Heart Association; the American Academy of Pediatrics; the American Nurses Association. Now there is another powerful group supporting our right to clean air: Moms Clean Air Force. Moms have passion and power - an unbeatable combination. We are harnessing the strength of mother love to fight back against polluters. Moms are joining together, to come out in strength for our kid's right to clean air - just as our parents fought for us, forty years ago, to get The Clean Air Act signed into law by President Richard Nixon. Moms Clean Air Force is nonpartisan - because clean air is more important than politics. Air pollution isn't just dirty. It is toxic. We show you how pollution connects to disease. Moms will do everything they can to keep their children safe and sound. We look for the healthiest foods we can afford; we avoid toxic chemicals in our products. But there are some things we simply cannot buy. Clean air is one. We need job-creating reguations to assure that our children have clean air right now, and for thier future.
