Dear Friends,  We've had our best 48 hours of fundraising yet, but we're counting on our supporters to please keep the momentum going until midnight on December 31st. Since Thursday, we've raised $13,505 from 29 donors. $760 of this was doubled thanks to our $4,500 Christmas Eve doubling challenge from a super angel, bringing our total to  $47,268 from 306 donors. We're incredibly grateful for your support!  As you can see, we're

Dear Friends,  Many of you are familiar with the above cartoon. Over the 15 years I've been with the Fluoride Action Network we've included it in at least one bulletin each year, often at a time when it seemed like we were facing adversity in our fight to end fluoridation. But we carried on year after year, making steady incremental progress that eventually led to major victories that have put us in the position we're in now, on the verge of ending fluoridation globally. We never ga

Fundraising UpdateSince Saturday's bulletin on state legislation, we were able to raise $2,576 from 34 donors, bringing our current total to $26,083 from 242 donors. We're incredibly grateful to all who have supported FAN over the years. Together we've accomplished a lot. You've trusted our vision and strategy this entire time and as a result we've pressed ahead with victory after victory. Now, with the 25th anniversary of FAN's founding approaching,

The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) is constantly working at every level of government (local, state, federal, judicial, and bureaucratic) to end this practice. We don’t always share everything with our full email list as it’s happening because we’re so focused on the task at hand, and we also don’t want our opposition to know our strategies. But rest assured that FAN is not just a leader in providing educational and scientific resources but also when it comes to advocacy.  

I had originally planned to publish a bulletin today on a brand new study that puts the side effects from fluoridation into a different perspective, one that maybe some government officials will be more receptive to, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. This is because I received an email from a long-time donor and community organizer in Vermont who offered to help kick our fundraiser into overdrive with a "sweet deal." It reminded me of how Paul Connett used to say that we occasionally nee

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 b

Over the past two months, there's been an unprecedented amount of news coverage about the Fluoride Action Network, our win in federal court, support from mainstream political leaders, and the wave of communities reacting to the ruling by ending or suspending fluoridation. We've been so busy generating news by talking with journalists and helping local and state decision makers take action, that we've been slow in sharing much of this success with you. This is especially true for those of you wh

Since its founding in 2000, the Fluoride Action Network has committed to being a credible, science-based authority on fluoride toxicity and the practice of water fluoridation. We take this commitment very seriously, despite fraudulent claims by the promoters of fluoridation attacking us as “conspiracy theorists” relying on “cherry-picked studies” and “internet misinformation.” This is intended to stifle debate and distract from the science. A quick comparison of the databases and ex
