Against Corporate Tobacco (FACT)
-
F.A.C.T.
isn't your typical youth movement. F.A.C.T. members are
strong-willed, edgy teens who won't be used as pawns in
corporate tobacco's deadly game. F.A.C.T. is a youth-led,
youth-driven movement with the mission of turning the tables on
corporate tobacco by exposing their lies.
Did you know that Big Tobacco spends $8.2 billion/year on
advertising? Did
you know that 90% of smokers start before the age of 18? For
this reason, FACT was formed in 2001, and now has over 5,000
members throughout the State of Wisconsin.
F.A.C.T. members take part in a variety of non-violent
activism initiatives to increase awareness of corporate
tobacco’s advertising efforts towards youth.
FACT members set and lead meetings, and decide the
activities that are to take place.
This group is for ages 13-18.
