New Zealand residents, there’s still time to see attorney Michael Connett during his speaking tour of your country. Connett is an environmental attorney and public health advocate who led FAN’s historic legal battle and victory against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the neurotoxicity of fluoridation chemicals. He’s currently on a speaking tour of New Zealand, filling meeting halls to capacity in Whangarei and Rotorua.  

Connett’s presentations–open to all members of the public, media, and policymakers–are free and focused on: 1) the science on fluoridations potential harm, 2) insights from the legal battle, and 3) why communities across the globe are banning the practice.
