America Unites for Kids

America Unites for Kids All children deserve an education in an environment that won't jeopardize their health. Let's get PCBs & toxic chemicals out of our nation's schools.

PCBs were banned Congress in 1976 under the Toxic Substance Control ACT. They are the only chemical called out by Congress to be banned because of PCB's unacceptable harm to human health. PCBs cause cancer and other serious health issues from lower IQ to ADHD to thyroid, endocrine, immune disruption.They cause rashes and cystic acne. PCBs don't belong in our Nation's schools. Schools built from 19

50-1979 may contain PCBs in their caulking and/or light ballasts. The only way to know if you have PCBs is to test the caulking. It is a simple $65 test that anyone can do. Cut a piece of caulk from the window, put it in a ziplock bag and call us and we will direct you to a lab. Parents have a right to know what their kids are being exposed to. All schools built during this time should be tested. We encourage all parents to find out if their children are being unnecessarily exposed to PCBs. Each generation is charged with cleaning up the mistakes of past generations, so that future generations can thrive. We believe we owe it to our children to do what we can, within our means, to guarantee them a healthy and successful future. What better legacy can we leave our children and our grandchildren than the chance for a healthy future?

Hey Malibu!!! it’s time to elect SMMUSD board members that will focus on educating kids and not vanity construction projects, not shaming Malibu, and who will fully support Malibu’s separation.

Please share this as it will take all of us united to beat the incumbents that have done irreparable harm to our students education, to the environment in which they learn, and to public trust.

Supporting this PAC is the start of A Brighter Future for SMMUSD!

Success! For a decade advocates have been fighting to remove glyphosate from the market. It causes harm to people, wildlife, and the environment.

Bayer will no longer sell glyphosate-containing products to U.S. home gardeners, the company announced. The move comes as Bayer faces 30,000 legal claims from customers who believe use of these products—including the flagship Roundup—caused them to develop cancer. The products will be replaced w...

Eight years after the PCB news went public, there is a conclusion. A few more years of removal/tear down and PCBs will be history in the Malibu Schools.

Congratulations to Poison Free Malibu and Kian and Joel Schulman! The CA Coastal Commission approved The Poison Free Malibu amendment to our coastal plan to ban the use of rodenticide, pesticides protecting the wildlife and our own health. 

Kian and Joel: You did it! They said it couldn’t be done and you would not take no for an answer. Our Heros!!!

Good recap of the LACOE meeting, however, SMMUSD has misrepresented the financials in all their PR, so their community members are misinformed. Malibu has offered to accept whatever LACOE decides is fair and equitable. SMMUSD’s full court press of misinformation is disingenuous at best and insinuating Malibu’s racist is malicious at worst. Shame on Drati and the school board to disrespect part of their district... there is no going back now. all the way.

Over 300 people turned in to an emotionally charged LA County Office of Education hearing Saturday to determine the future of Malibu schools
