David A. Baker is an American activist. A former union organizer, Baker is the founder and director of Community Against Pollution. Background
Baker is from Anniston, Alabama. As children, he and his younger brother Terry would play in ditches and cross the water in the ditches that were used for the Monsanto plant run-off. In 1970  his brother died of brain and lung cancer at the age of 17. Baker believes that this was caused by PCBs in the environment. Since then he has been instrumental in getting lawyers to represent the people who appear to be the victims of PCB poisoning. In 1995 while he was working for an environmental company, he accidentally discovered that the presence of PCB's had been covered up for 50 years. Recent & current
