Typhoon Sinlaku is a devastating reminder that climate change is already reshaping lives right now. Resilient infrastructure, preparedness, and equitable recovery are essential for communities on the front lines. More in @amprog’s latest: https://t.co/av4JxE4B0h

- Pennsylvania is a Top-6 state for the most kids living near a “free pass to pollute” facility.
