Fundraising Update
Since Sunday, we’ve raised $2,750 from 21 supporters. With the current $5,000 doubling challenge from one of our “Super Angels” in effect, our new total is $16,425 raised so far from 156 donors towards FAN’s 2025 operating budget.
At the moment there is some concern that we may not raise enough to maintain the unprecedented momentum we’ve generated going into what is likely to be the most consequential time period this battle has seen in 80 years. If you have personal contacts who agree with you on this issue, please help us by sharing our fundraising bulletins and by urging them to consider a donation to a good cause that impacts over 200 million people in the U.S.–including over 2 million pregnant women and 300,000 exclusively bottle-fed infants–and over 400 million people around the world.
DONATIONS ARE STILL DOUBLED – There’s still $2,250 remaining from Sunday’s doubling challenge. This means your donation will continue to make double the impact for our efforts in 2025.
If you would like to offer your own doubling challenge and watch your support for our cause inspire others to double their impact with each bulletin, you can do so anonymously or by name. Simply send your suggested challenge to me in an email: stuart@fluoridealert.org

Four New Interviews
Below are four recent interviews featuring fluoridation experts who are well-known to the FAN community. The first features FAN attorney Michael Connett. He joined journalist Allison Morrow, a recipient of two Emmy Awards and an Associated Press Award for her work as an environmental reporter for NBC and FOX, for an in-depth hour-long interview.
The second interview is from the television show “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” that aired live to a large audience on BlazeTV, and has a YouTube version, which I’m sharing below, with over 68,000 views. I was Sara’s guest for this 10-minute interview about the recent federal court ruling and National Toxicology Program report on developmental neurotoxicity.
The third interview features Dr. Robert Dickson, MD, a physician who chairs Safe Water Calgary and Fluoride Free Canada. He was interviewed by journalist Tanya Granic Allen on her show Counterpoint, which focuses on providing balanced discussions on public policy in Canada. In this 20-minute interview, Dr. Dickson discusses the potential harms, medical ethics, and history of water fluoridation, as well as the propaganda that promoted it for 80 years.
The fourth interview is with FAN board member and long-time volunteer community organizer Rick North. He’s interviewed by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D, a journalist for the Defender, the media outlet for the Childrens Health Defense (CHD) nonprofit. They discuss the lawsuit, the latest scientific findings, fluoride’s potential health risks, and the impact of the court decision on citizen victories across the country.
I did want to take a moment to offer a short note based on a handful of emails I’ve received asking about FAN’s stance on issues besides fluoride and fluoridation. While this interview is conducted by a journalist from a nonprofit that focuses on the issue of vaccines, FAN has never taken a position of any kind on that subject. We’re a single-issue organization made up of a very diverse group of people that have found success by focusing exclusively on our mutual desire to protect the public from overexposure to fluoride. CHD reporters have contacted FAN with media inquiries many times over the years, and we’ve responded as we do with all interested media outlets. I can attest that while many mainstream reporters were providing inaccurate information to the public by cutting and pasting American Dental Association talking points into their articles, CHD covered the issue of water fluoridation in a much more comprehensive and accurate way.
Without further ado, click on the image below to watch the 50-minute interview featuring Rick North (scroll to the bottom of the CHD article for the video):
Please stay tuned. We have much more in store for you over the next two weeks, including:
- Good news for our work on state legislation.
- An unprecedented wave of community victories.
- More deposition footage.
- Highlights from the unprecedented media coverage of FAN and fluoridation.
- What to expect in 2025.
…and much more!
Thank you for your support,
