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.”
