Mission and values

mission statement

By advocating for the complete remediation of the Santa Susana Field Lab (SSFL), site of one of America’s worst nuclear accidents, Parents Against SSFL aims to protect nearby communities from exposure to the site’s toxic and carcinogenic contamination. Parents Against SSFL was founded by mothers of children diagnosed with rare cancers and seeks to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, the number of local families who have to hear the words, “Your child has cancer.”

Values

  • Cancer doesn’t discriminate - neither does Parents Against SSFL. We engage in meaningful relationships with people of all backgrounds and value systems.

  • We are a nonpartisan group.

  • We prioritize people and relationships.

  • We always “take the high road” and stay true to the good people we are.

  • Though we focus on work surrounding the SSFL, we actively engage with many toxic-sister-sites across California and the US.
