TIME Magazine did an amazing write-up and short video uplifting ANHEโs work. Read the full article here.
โANHE has helped notch include pushing for a successful ban on frackingโwhich harms health by releasing particles into the air and chemicals into groundwaterโin Maryland, in 2017; and the 2016 passage of the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act, which helps tighten safety rules on such toxic substances as lead, mercury, PFAS, and asbestos.
In 2024 and beyond, the group will increasingly be training its guns on climate changeโthe overarching crisis that is making the planet as a whole increasingly sickly. โIt has such profound impacts on human health,โ says Huffling, โand when strong climate action is taken it [provides] the greatest opportunity for disease prevention.โ
Close to a generation after that first gathering in Oracle, ANHE continues to take the fight to the forces dirtying the planet and bringing illness to the people who live on it. On the hospital ward, nurses administer their care one case, one patient, one person at a time. In the wider world, they are working to look after all eight billion of us.โ
