And we're off! Just passed the £1,000 mark with our crowdfunding campaign, raising money to take the Government to court and stop the "fast track" for new chemicals to enter the UK without scrutiny: www.crowdjustice.com/case/fightin...

The Government told the public that only the EU would qualify as a "trusted jurisdiction" for chemical safety decisions. But that safeguard never made it into the legislation.
That's why we're taking legal action.

All our campaigns are crowdfunded. They are only possible because people chip in small amounts. Without your support we can't hold government to account.
Can you help us raise money for this essential case? 24 hours since launching we're approaching £1000. Every £ donated will help us push govt to keep to their word and maintain strong chemical safety standards.

A new legal case has been launched to challenge how the UK fast-tracks EU chemical safety decisions into law ⬇️
A clear commitment to align GB classifications with EU decisions as a default, including new hazard classes, alongside transparent reporting on divergence is urgently required. ⚠️

The law it passed says something very different.
We're asking the courts to hold the Government to its promises.
