🚨 Just in: The U.S. Senate voted to overturn important car pollutions standards in California.

This comes on the heels of last week’s House vote repealing the same protections. A major step backward for clean air and climate action.

🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed a Reconciliation Bill that threatens health coverage for 13+ million people and guts crucial EPA programs fighting air pollution and climate change — all by a single vote (215-214).

ANHE's Executive Director Katie Huffling responds to this dangerous rollback on public health and environmental protections.

Health organizations have the power to set positive examples. Just like health leaders once stood up to Big Tobacco, it’s time to stand up to Big Oil that makes people sick. When hiring advertising, marketing & design companies, we can choose to work only with agencies that don’t take money from fossil fuel companies. More than 30 influential organizations representing the interests of over 12 million health professionals worldwide have already signed a commitment to no longer work with PR and ad agencies that also provide services to the fossil fuel industry.

Nurses Take the Hill for Climate and Health Justic

Nurses Take the Hill for Climate and Health Justice!

In April, nurses from across the U.S. met with over 45 congressional offices to deliver a clear, united message: protect our communities, protect our health.

From asthma in kids to the impact of wildfire smoke, nurses shared powerful stories and pushed for climate-smart policy — because health justice is climate justice.

🏛️ Lawmakers listened. Now it’s time to keep the momentum going.

Read the full blog post for highlights, key advocacy themes, and what’s next.

Tell your senator VOTE NO on the CRA

“If Republicans can ignore the Parliamentarian on the CRA, then why not the tax bill [...], or healthcare, or anything else?” — @SenAlexPadilla on the huge risks of Senate GOP taking the “nuclear option” to crush common-sense pollution standards.

The GOP’s attack on CA’s 50-year history of vehicle pollution standards is a direct assault on the Clean Air Act. Contact your senator and tell them to stand up for our country’s bedrock air quality law and VOTE NO on the CRA resolutions against the clean vehicle waivers. https://zurl.co/sDT82
