New Series Alert!! ANHE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (EJ)

New Series Alert!! ANHE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (EJ) WEDNESDAYS - Where we highlight critical advocacy and policy actions our nurse members have taken to create real change.

EJ Wednesday #1 - Clean Cars Edition

In August of this year, the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE) collected over 300 signatures from nurses in all 50 states in support of clean cars standards and delivered a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan. The letter, and hearing from nurses on the front lines, is critical in the Biden-Harris Administration and EPA's next round of clean car standards for Model Year 2027 and beyond.

YOU can inform RESEARCH.

At ANHE we’re all about community and creating spaces for nurses to band together. Our Nurse Researchers have published hundreds of manuscripts, changing the way we care for humans impacted by climate change and environmental issues.

We want nurses’ voices to be heard and to move evidence-based care models to practice. It’s important to connect and join voices so that we are stronger together.

These initiatives are only made possible by your support - if you or someone you know would like to give this giving this season to support our mission here at ANHE, please visit the link in our bio 👆👆👆

ANHE Spotlights: Nurses Leading Change - Alex Fay

ANHE Spotlights: Nurses Leading Change - Alex Fay (they/them)

Alex is a current fellow in the second cohort of ANHE’s Environmental Health Nurse Fellowship program

“For my fellowship project, I’m working with my local 350 chapter, 350Seattle, who just closed out on a campaign and secured funding to upgrade 13 community centers to run on renewable energy and then serve as heat and smoke resilience centers! As part of my role, I have given public comment around the health impacts of climate change and the benefits of 350Seattle’s work in local community centers. One of my biggest goals was getting more nurses and healthcare workers to provide comments on the impacts of heat and wildfire smoke on health and what healthcare workers are seeing in real life. I’ve also helped many health professionals develop their message and feel confident speaking to political representatives and the public. This work is something our city really needs.”

“The Environmental Health Nurse Fellowship and ANHE have been an incredibly supportive community. The fellowship has spurred me to get more involved in my local community and with community-based organizations (CBOs). It has given me the confidence to reach out to CBOs and ask if there is any way that I can use my nursing knowledge to support them in any capacity. Because of the fellowship, I have developed relationships with ANHE members in the Pacific Northwest and across the country, community leaders in my own city, and nurses who share the same interests and passions as I do. At ANHE, you get to choose what interests you and what feels right to you, which is really cool.”

WOW! YOU DID IT! We can't thank you enough for making this @GivingTuesday a huge success. With the generous support of over 65 donors, we've raised $6389 in just one day! These funds will support the work ANHE nurses are doing to assure their communities continue to have access to clean air, water, and soil. THANK YOU! We <3 you.

YOU can change policy. ✨

Nurses have a special level of understanding on how environmental factors affect patient health. And that includes avoidable air pollution which causes a variety of respiratory issues.

We want nurses’ voices to be heard in a way that changes policy and that’s why we bring nurses together to contact representatives for change.

It’s important to connect and join voices so that we are stronger together.

Justice must be the starting point for all work that nurses are amplifying or involved in. Nurses have the capacity to be the driving force behind numerous winning strategies to address the climate crisis, from the bedside to the board room. Nursing care is most effective and transformational when nurses are engaged in solutions that are rooted in solidarty with marginialized communities and bring those to our work.

Today the world population reached 8 billion. We now have 8 billion opportunities to address the global climate crisis according to Monica Ferro, Director of UNFPA, Geneva Office.

Women activist leaders (and the youngest COP observer Mohamed!👶🏾) came together from multiple corners of the world to highlight the unique burdens that climate change places on women, girls, and vulnerable gendered groups. They also discussed solutions and demands for negotiations @cop27_egypt and future COPs 🌍✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾👶🏾🤱

This week we are still at COP27 (@cop27_egypt) in Egypt and have lots to share with you!

Today Nov 14th is both Gender Day and Water Day. 💁‍♀️🌊

To combat climate change, gender representation is crucial. We all have a very instrumental part to play in the challenge, and women bear a disproportionate burden from the effects of climate change and so their perspectives should be given more priority. There is strength in diversity and we must listen to marginalized voices from different genders so that our solutions can be more impactful for all.

Water makes up more than 70% of Earth’s surface and is necessary for life. Water sources and conditions need special care and protections to protect all lifeforms on the planet. Today, topics surrounding the care of water on our planet are discussed covering a variety of areas.

As we attend COP27, we will continue sharing this inspiring journey and would love to hear from you as well!

Conversations around #Adaptation and #Agriculture are crucial when discussing climate change. Nurses are already working with their patients and communities on solutions that are good for health and beneficial for the environment as well.
