New York City Council Member Peter F. Vallone,Jr. will hold NYC’s first-ever Stop Fluoridation Rally and Press Conference on May 15th at 11 am on City Hall steps.
Last year, Councilman Vallone drafted legislation (Introduction Number 463) to ban the addition of fluoride chemicals into New York City’s public water supplies. Since then special-interest groups have mounted a major push-back. He needs our support to get this critical legislation passed.
Vallone says, “This legislation will have an immediate and critical impact – the city will save between 5 and 7 million dollars per year, and our citizens will no longer ingest a toxic chemical every time they take a sip of water, take a shower or wash a piece of fruit.â€
City Hall is located in the middle of City Hall Park in Manhattan. Allow enough time to go through security entrances – one entrance to City Hall Park and City Hall is on Broadway and the other is on Park Row.
Bring photo Identification.
Besides Councilman Vallone, other presenters include medical professionals and gifted and talented elementary school students researching fluoridation.
Vallone asks, “Please spread the word, attend and invite friends! It’s important for us to have a strong showing.â€
If I get more information, I’ll send it along. Hope to see you there!
