Campaigning for equity in air quality and tackling air pollution as a social justice matter that impacts on everyone

[Richard Parker @RichParkerLab]

I joined pupils at Corngreaves Academy on Clean Air Day to launch a new schools programme on air pollution.

We read a brilliant story together and talked about how the air we breathe affects our health — and how we can all help.

Clean air is a right, not a privilege — and education is where action starts.

Yesterday for #CleanAirDay, we ran 15 sessions at Heathfield School! We engaged pupils & parents on air pollution challenges & risks. Together, we're building healthier communities! 🌬️🏫 #CleanAir #HeathfieldSchool

It was great to catch up with the @CleanAirJustice team a part of the Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition and their campaign to make Birmingham toxic air-free! Let's work together for cleaner air. #CleanAirNow #Birmingham

[Liz Clements @LizClements]

Great to catch up with @CleanAirJustice & @MumsForLungs campaigners before Council y'day. Despite success of Clean Air Zone which has reduced NOx emissions in city centre, still so much to be done on air quality in Brum: that's why #HealthyAirCoalition's key asks are crucial 🫁

Great to speak with Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition campaigners about their work to free our city from the impact of toxic air. You can get more information about their work at https://t.co/oNByxSBGBq

@RichParkerLab @CleanAirFund @ChokedUp_UK @asthmalunguk @EsmeeFairbairn Thank you @RichParkerLab for your commitment to work with communities want to get rid of toxic air in our city and region. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Every year, around 2,300 people in the West Midlands die early due to long-term exposure to air pollution. It's unacceptable.

I’ve introduced a new pollution monitoring system across the region to tackle this crisis.

It’s great to see organisations like Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition supporting my mission to improve air quality and give West Midlands residents healthier lives.

Yesterday we hand-delivered an open letter with local campaigners, @CleanAirJustice and #Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition to West midlands Mayor @RichParkerLab. The letter urged him to commit to meeting @WHO air quality guidelines and to meaningfully engage with local communities in the region's air quality plan.

Productive meetings with Parliamentarians this week alongside #Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition @CleanAirJustice @TAWSociety @CleanAirFund to discuss our campaign for cleaner air in Birmingham.

We're urging policymakers to take action to protect our communities. #CleanAir

[Paulette Hamilton MP @PauletteHamilto]

Great to show my support to the Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition @CleanAirJustice at their Parliamentary event.

This coalition unites health, environment, and transport leaders to champion the right to clean, safe air for everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live.

🚨 Lighthouse Youth Centre SAVED! 🚨
@TheLighthouseYP in #Lozells will remain a @BhamCityCouncil run facility, providing vital youth services.
Lozells Recreation Group will have a partnership model which will see community groups utilise the space.

Lovely to see so many like-minded institutions, activists and academics at the @WMAir_UoB Annual Meeting today which includes a keynote speech from @UKenergyinnov8 #BrumBreathes

[Clean Air Justice Network @CleanAirJustice]

Today we have been supporting the efforts of @asthmalunguk highlighting the scandal of #toxicairplaygrounds across the UK. 99% of public playgrounds in Britain and across Birmingham are in areas with dangerous levels of pollution.
This must change!
