Fundraising UpdateSince Thursday, 29 donors have contributed $3,087. The first $505 was doubled due to a $5,000 doubling-challenge by one of our "super angels," bringing our current total to $23,507 from 208 donors on our way to our goal of raising $140,000 from 700 donors by midnight on December 31st. A big thank you to all who have helped. LIMITED-TIME OFFER STILL IN EFFECT: Jack Crowther's fun maple syrup offer is still ongoing! So far onl

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

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

Compiled by Michael F. Dolan, PhD Fundraising Update Since Saturday, we've raised $2,590 from 23 supporters, bringing our current total for our to $6,135 from 77 donors towards FAN's 2025 operating budget goal of $140,000 from 700 donors.

Your support makes it possible to send out press releases to educate journalists, to have an email database to keep supporters i

If you could ask representatives of the Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) about the efficacy of fluoridation under oath, what would you ask them? Our lawyers had that opportunity during depositions for our federal court case, and today we will share several new video clips featuring the CDC's Oral Health Director.  FAN's attorneys now have boxes of documents and evidence, as well as hundreds of hours of deposition footage featuring more than 10 different witnesses. These

While the unprecedented media coverage of our lawsuit victory and the wave of communities ending or suspending fluoridation in response is still growing (more on this to come), we did want to provide an update on the impending deadline for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to file an appeal.  On September 24th, the Court issued its Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law and entered a judgement in favor of the Fluoride Action Network and our co-plaintiffs:  

As we spend the next year working hard to put the final nails in the coffin for water fluoridation, I wanted to make clear what we’re still up against and the mindset of those individuals who continue to advocate for expansion of the practice despite the overwhelming evidence of harm.  After the federal court ruled that “optimally” fluoridated drinking water poses an unreasonable risk to the health of children, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) put out a stat
