Advocacy in Chemistry
More than 500,000 Americans are employed in the business of chemistry, creating advanced materials that enable cleaner energy, build modern infrastructure, and enhance energy efficiency at work each day. We strive to make their stories heard to elected officials in their communities, state capitols, and Washington DC.
ChemistryMatters utilizes the newest technologies to compliment the advocacy efforts of our member companies, everything from take-action campaigns to social media. We also work with our member companies to highlight the positive impacts of chemistry to state and federally elected officials through roundtables and in-person facility tours.
In joining ChemistryMatters, advocates are signing up to engage on the issues that matter the most to chemistry jobs and a thriving economy. ChemistryMatters helps advocates make a big impact:
Chemistry does so much that we don't even think about, but to see what happens right here in my home district is pretty special.
