Safer States is an alliance of diverse environmental health organizations and coalitions dedicated to creating a healthier world. Their mission is to protect people and the planet from toxic chemicals and promote innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. Each year, state decision-makers are actively taking steps to hold polluters accountable and safeguard children and families from harmful chemicals.

Safer States facilitates this progress by connecting legislators, advocates, and scientists, allowing them to learn from each other's successes. With a focus on national problems, Safer States helps identify chemicals of greatest concern to vulnerable populations and works towards disclosing their use in products. They advocate for the banning of harmful chemicals that cause disease and contaminate the environment.

Additionally, Safer States actively promotes the adoption of safer alternatives, spearheading the movement towards a marketplace that prioritizes human and environmental health. Through their collaborative efforts, Safer States has played a pivotal role in the enactment of over 200 state policies designed to protect people from hazardous chemicals. Their impact extends to various sectors, including toxic chemicals, PFAS chemicals, flame retardants, BPA, phthalates, chemicals used in plastic, heavy metals, and chemicals in cleaning, cosmetics, and construction.
