As we officially step into the summer months, we are filled with renewed energy as we reflect on the success of the past half year. June also brings heightened awareness to the potential of natural disasters, including hurricanes. As we face hurricane season, and at the same time, a higher risk of wildfires in California and across the country, ADAO’s advocacy efforts are in full swing. We remain laser-focused on prevention, protection, and progress, at home and worldwide. Here are five key areas we're highlighting this month. We invite you to learn more about our latest efforts:
Save the Date: ADAO’s 20th Asbestos Awareness and Prevention Conference! We’re thrilled to announce we’re heading back to where it all began, New York City, for our 20th Annual Conference on September 12–13. This year's theme is: “Building on Dr. Selikoff’s Legacy in Asbestos Science, Prevention & Justice.” Dr. Selikoff first informed the world of the dangers of asbestos decades ago, and we plan to continue his legacy in the same city. Stay tuned for more details!
Read more about Dr. Irving Selikoff and the Enduring Fight Against Asbestos: From Groundbreaking Research to Modern Health Advocacy in our blog.
Hurricane Season is Here: Prepare and Protect: As hurricane season commences, our blog, "Hurricanes & Asbestos: Top 10 Tips to Prevent Exposure in Homes, Schools, and Workplaces," is essential reading. Prevention saves lives, and preparation is power, especially for those in disaster-prone areas. It is up to all of us to make sure our friends and neighbors know how to protect themselves from the dangers of asbestos, especially when we know natural disasters are on their way. In addition to the blog, ADAO also emailed the Congress and asked them to share this important information with their constituents.
Introducing The Source: Your AI Guide to ADAO’s Video Archive: We’re proud to launch The Source, ADAO’s new AI chatbot! On top of asking the chatbot the questions you have about asbestos, you can now easily search and share over 600 videos from our extensive YouTube library. Featuring two decades of expert presentations and survivor stories, this is the largest nonprofit video collection on asbestos prevention and policy, now at your fingertips. Explore The Source today!

ADAO Heads to Berlin: Global Collaboration: On June 24–25, I’ll be honored to join global leaders at the 4th Asbestonomy Conference in Berlin. I look forward to presenting ADAO’s work and collaborating on international strategies to eliminate asbestos-related diseases.
Standing in Solidarity: Action Mesothelioma Day UK On July 4, we will stand in solidarity with our partners in the United Kingdom for Action Mesothelioma Day. Together, we honor Mesothelioma Warriors and amplify the global call to prevent exposure and end the asbestos crisis.
Our work is made possible by the generosity of donors and sponsors. We are deeply grateful to our Platinum Sponsors: Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP and Simmons Hanly Conroy, LLP, Gold Sponsors: The Gori Law Firm and Motley Rice LLC and Silver Sponsor Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney & Meisenkothen.
As always, thank you for standing with ADAO. Your support empowers us to continue educating, advocating, and taking action for a safer, healthier future.
With hope and determination,
Onward. Together.
