Why We Do What We Do

The Children’s Health Defense Indiana Chapter is focused on the health, safety, and well-being of our children and future children. Our mission is ending childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure. We will restore and protect the health of children by eliminating environmental exposures, holding responsible parties accountable, and establishing safeguards to prevent future harm of children’s health. Protecting Children. Exposing Harms. Seeking Justice.

The Leadership of the Indiana Chapter has come into this movement for various reasons but a common ground is the unwavering belief that individuals have the right to choose which medical interventions they wish to participate in. Our core desire is to ignite a change within our community, and believe that the fight for our children and for future generation’s needs to start at home. We hope to awaken more Hoosiers to join the movement and fight for medical freedom and the health of Indiana’s children.
