Extreme heat doesn’t just make our kids uncomfortable — it interferes with how their brains and bodies develop.

Dr. Jorge Cuartas, developmental psychologist at @nyusteinhardt is raising the alarm about children being consistently left out of climate preparedness plans.

Tribal Nations have always led the fight for clean air, often without the resources they deserve. At the 26th National Tribal Forum on Air Quality, we met three #cleanair advocates you should know. @cleanairmoms_CO https://t.co/VzsGKtgLjS

When it's this hot, knowing what to do can make all the difference. Know the signs of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and heat cramps — and what to do if you or someone you love needs help. 🌡️ #HeatSafety https://t.co/Rcvap97Dve

[The Medical Society Consortium on Climate & Health @docsforclimate]

🌡️ With much of the East Coast experiencing an early-season heatwave and millions of people facing highs in the 90s, #HeatSafety Week couldn't have come at a more critical time. @HeatGov

“If you are interested in child’s health, how can you not be interested in the climate crisis?” says Donna Koller, a researcher and professor of early childhood studies who is training the next generation of children’s rights advocates. @CleanAirMoms

Come behind the scenes with Moms to the Capitol as we fight for cleaner air and a cleaner economy. We need fuel efficiency standards more than ever as #gasprices are skyrocketing and the Trump Administration continues to roll back #cleanair protections.

A data center in Fayetteville, GA drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained

[Colorado Moms @CleanAirMoms_CO]

As communities across Colorado are facing large-load data centers — it is critical that statewide guardrails are implemented now. This story from Georgia highlights just one concern of high water usage by QTs — until residents complained. https://t.co/jHjZ6COdq6 via @politico

"Children deserve people who take the threats to their safety seriously… (EPA’s) repeal of the Endangerment Finding is a profound betrayal of their trust."

Thank you to @cleanairmoms’ intern Bobby for boldly using their voice to safeguard our children.

For Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, CEO of @PublicHealth, the biggest realization wasn't just that the climate was warming, but that the extreme weather and rise of certain infectious diseases like Lyme, was preventable. #ClimateAction #PublicHealth

On World Asthma Day, we're sounding the alarm: wildfire smoke is stealing our kids' breath. 🌬️

Climate change is fueling longer, hotter wildfire seasons—and the smoke doesn't stay where the flames burn. It drifts thousands of miles and lands in our children's lungs.

Here's what every parent should know:

🔸 On smoky days when AQI hits 100–200, breathing wildfire smoke is like smoking up to half a pack of cigarettes.

🔸 Kids' lungs are still growing. Smoke exposure raises rates of coughing, wheezing, bronchitis — and hospital visits, even for kids without asthma.

🔸 When 2023's Canadian wildfire smoke drifted into the U.S., asthma-related ER visits rose 17% — thousands of miles from the flames (per the CDC).

🔸 As Moms Clean Air Force organizer Elizabeth Hauptman says: "This is our reality now. Their lungs are still developing. Their brains are still growing. This isn't a nuisance—it's a serious health threat."

We can fight back. Tell Congress: protect our families and our kids' right to breathe clean air. 💪

Every breath counts. Every voice matters. Every action adds up.

EcoMadre Mary Wagner never imagined she'd be taking on a state government agency. Then her son was diagnosed with asthma and everything changed.
