No Sand Mine!
VALLEY FEVER DANGER
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VALLEY FEVER
We are partnering with Tail is Up Foundation, a 501(C)3 animal welfare non-profit, that is helping us raise funds to fight the sand mine. They will help us protect the animals that live in the El Monte Valley and preserve their habitat. They are directly paying for outreach activities fueled by your donations. We do not receive a penny. Tax ID #81-0866283
Did you know that Valley Fever is considered a bioterrorism agent by the US government? Valley Fever is the most virulent fungal parasite known to man. To work with it as a scientist you have to be in a level 3 biocontainment lab.
Digging up the sand in El Monte Valley will spread this fungus. If you haven’t already signed the petition opposing the sand mine, please follow this link and sign it now!
