We have used this state law to educate consumers and local community organizations about their right-to-know what is in the products they buy, and we continue to strengthen the support around defending it, including successfully opposing AB 2743. CEH has supported multiple Federal bills that would address toxic PFAS in products, as well as two California bills that would track all PFAS imports into the state (AB 2247) and ban PFAS chemicals in cosmetics (AB 2771). CEH reached over 100,000 people through our Prop 65 and other right-to-know communications with over 250 social media posts and 15 blog articles.CEH supported 30 State and Federal bills and signed onto 120 letters applying guidance and pressure on regulatory agencies for community-based rulemaking, including a letter to EPA urging them to designate two PFAS, PFOS and PFOA, as hazardous substances which the agency is now in the process of granting.CEH and our allies across the country raised awareness of the myths and harms of so-called chemical recycling. We used a range of strategies to block its buildout, prevent efforts to deregulate this practice, ensure these facilities are not eligible for green energy incentives, and emphasize the importance of upstream solutions to the plastic waste crisis. 1093297 1353 399719 Litigated to Protect People from Toxic Chemicals and Heavy Metals:CEH initiated legal action against the largest U.S. fluorinator of plastic containers, encouraged scientific testing that identified PFAS in fluorinated plastic, and compelled EPA to take action. CEH and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) filed a lawsuit in federal court against Inhance Technologies for generating toxic PFAS when fluorinating plastic containers in violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).CEH made progress in our BPA in clothing campaign by building the case for companies to improve manufacturing processes and reformulate their products to ensure BPA is eliminated. CEH filed suit against seven brands of sports bras and five brands of athletic shirts after testing showed that the clothing could expose individuals to up to 22 times the safe limit of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), according to California law. Additionally, CEH sent legal notices to approximately 100 companies after extensive testing showed their socks made for babies, children, and adults could expose someone to up to 31 times the safe limit of the chemical BPA, according to California law. CEH is committed to supporting the local efforts of community leaders to defend against unsafe toxic exposures in their communities. So, when government regulators failed to adequately respond to East Oakland residents concerns about the cancer-causing diesel engine exhaust coming from Green Sages nine trailer-sized generators, CEH and the Environmental Democracy Project (EDP) partnered with the Oakland Cannery Collective (the Collective), the resident group that had been advocating on the issue, to take legal action. We forced the illegal, polluting generators to be removed and protected local air quality in this community. 797815 1209 207940 Shifted the Market Away from Harmful Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in Food:Since our launch of the first-of-its-kind GreenScreen Certified Standard for Food Service Ware. The groundbreaking certification has set a new safety standard for everyday foodware items like disposable plates and bowls that do not contain per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) forever chemicals, plus thousands of other chemicals of concern. Two manufacturers have certified 48 of their foodware products to CEH and CPAs GreenScreen Certification for safer single-use foodware and promoted the certifications to 11 healthcare institutions nationwide.CEH audited the reusables infrastructure for Alameda County schools with 12 of the 18 districts being assessed for ease of adoption. CEH saw an increase in the number of views of our online interactive Ditching Disposables Toolkit for K-12 schools, the number of people who receive our toolkit at approximately 2500 recipients, and the number of people who attended our webinars/conferences at approximately 520 attendees. This important tool helps purchasers and individuals know what is in the foodware products they purchase and be able to make healthier choices. CEH informed and provided resources to approximately 2,900 people from various targeted sectors about the health impacts of toxic chemicals in foodware. CEH tested 31 fiber-based products for PFAS and added them to our publicly accessible foodware database and had 70 webpage views of our database this year. 263035 3418215 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 36 0 true 41 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA NY X X X Lakeesha Gage 5106553900 2201 Broadway Ste 508 Oakland CA 94612 Michael Green CEO 40.00 0.00 X 250769 0 11000 Tya Ward Dir of Development 40.00 0.00 182500 0 4550 Regina Jackson Interim CEO 40.00 0.00 X 161918 0 16501 Jimena Diaz Levia Scientist 40.00 0.00 155145 0 6951 Emily DiFrisco Communications Dir 40.00 0.00 135258 0 11240 Kaya Allan Sugerman Director of ITT 40.00 0.00 123156 0 9079 Sue Chaiang Dir of Edc's Food 40.00 0.00 102966 0 13371 Kizzy Charles-Guzman CEO 40.00 0.00 X 87500 0 0 Charlie Pizarro Interim CEO 40.00 0.00 X 37158 0 0 Rob Rosenheck Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ije-Enu Nwosu Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Eileen Moncoeur Secretary/Treas 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jose T Bravo Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Vin Gupta Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Gerwig Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tina Eshaghpour Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bobbi Dunphy Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eliza Nemser Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Petersen Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kalila Barnett Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ansje Miller Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1236370 72692 8 false true false Lakeesha Gage 66 Franklin St Ste 300 Oakland CA 94607 Accounting & HR 305816 1 10680 2442351 2453031 Awards and settlements 900099 894543 894543 Testing and other fees 900099 97755 97755 992298 257552 257552 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other 900099 26814 26814 26814 3729695 992298 284366 X 51148 51148 0 0 0 402293 274562 85675 42056 0 2202256 1560223 111181 530852 63521 43741 3006 16774 178558 126077 11511 40970 191692 134990 14234 42468 0 103266 91955 8688 2623 318636 318636 0 0 22661 22661 829446 596096 27636 205714 2121 2056 65 89035 62543 5445 21047 101232 76807 4021 20404 0 323875 243771 13188 66916 79895 59002 4723 16170 0 55655 33443 2556 19656 0 0 16180 12179 658 3343 25221 25221 Due, service fees and other 73968 49622 3627 20719 0 5130659 3418215 662667 1049777 1125376 711567 0 567218 667085 282093 12490 0 0 0 0 62183 79378 199967 163651 52496 36316 4109617 3142683 0 0 0 394828 148943 6593811 4798462 591200 175588 578577 902422 328994 26376 1498771 1104386 X 3700003 2005453 1395037 1688623 5095040 3694076 6593811 4798462 -1400964 X false true X true false X 1829229 2486556 2916978 2138607 2453031 11824401 0 0 1829229 2486556 2916978 2138607 2453031 11824401 3126684 8697717 61958 85384 83916 83728 99791 414777 0 28867 22631 13434 41495 26814 133241 12372419 9780340 0.70300 0.65570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 5130659 5130659 406533 101633 false 322602 358131 421926 406533 1509192 2263788 505 505 80651 89533 105482 101633 377299 565949 193 8571 1274 10038 10132 10132 133155 96839 36316 56680 56680 36316 Operating lease liability 26376 26376 X 3707034 3707034 22661 22661 3729695 5107998 5107998 22661 22661 5130659 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d).
