BREAKING: This is EPIC! A group of advocates for America’s Arctic set up a fake auction outside the U.S. Senate offices to demonstrate how RIDICULOUS Trump’s plan to sell off public lands actually is. BRAVO!

Add your name to keep the Arctic Refuge out of the 2025 budget bill! 👇

Good, reliable public transit is a matter of economic, climate, and racial justice.

Convened a roundtable with my Future of Transportation Caucus co-founders @RepPressley and @RepMarkTakano along with transit innovators to learn, strategize, and envision a better transit future.

[Deep South Center for Environmental Justice @DSCEJ]

We have recently seen a great number of rights be rolled back through judicial action. Now more than ever, it's time to be vigilant so that #environmentaljustice is not compromised as well.

[APHA @PublicHealth]

A6c: We're driving equitable climate solutions by encouraging cities to advance "Smart Surfaces," such as porous pavements, sidewalks & roads that help manage stormwater runoff & reduce flooding that would impact people’s homes. Visit: https://t.co/rs0NWNW3QK #NHHMchat #NHHM23

[HUD Healthy Homes @HUDHealthyHomes]

@PublicHealth Exactly! Here are some resources we have for post-disaster housing repair and restoration. https://t.co/74z1b2XkCZ #NHHMchat

[APHA @PublicHealth]

A6b: It’s not just the immediate damage from climate-related flooding events that we have to worry about, standing water & wet building materials breed viruses, bacteria & mold, which can lead to illness, infection & respiratory issues: https://t.co/XBhRyLKzt8 #NHHMchat #NHHM23

[APHA @PublicHealth]

A6a: Flooding events are increasing due to #climatechange & can leave families in damaged & unsafe homes, especially for marginalized groups with limited access to govt assistance. We create resources to help others understand this link: https://t.co/keRCTAe6WO #NHHMchat #NHHM23

[Coalition for the Homeless @NYHomeless]

Another reason why the right to shelter is critical. Having a place to go to get away from the smoke can be life-saving for our most vulnerable homeless neighbors, many of whom suffer from respiratory illnesses.
