The day after Trump’s inauguration, dozens of organizations from across the climate justice movement are uniting to build solidarity, resist the far-right agenda, and commit to bold, transformative climate action. With the incoming administration poised to dismantle hard-won progress, this is the fight of our lives—but together, we will rise stronger. https://zurl.co/ANitR (link in bio)

This is our moment to rally, strategize, and demonstrate that our movement is not only resilient but leading the way toward a just and sustainable future. The stakes are immense, but so is our collective power.

Join us as we celebrate recent victories, strategize for critical state and local campaigns and to defend federal policies under threat, amplify international solidarity, and identify the gaps we must close to secure climate, care, and justice for all. We will spotlight the Trump administration’s real motives: Putting the fossil fuel industry’s interest over the health and wellbeing of all people and our environment. Together, we’ll chart the path forward to win the bold, systemic change our communities need.

Last week, ANHE nurses Dr. Catherine Graeve and Mary Ellenberger gathered alongside others in Minnesota to urge legislators to continue support for Amara’s Law in Minnesota.

🌱 What is Amara’s Law? 🌍

In Minnesota, Amara’s Law addresses the widespread dangers of PFAS, or "forever chemicals," found in everyday products and the environment. Named after Amara Strande, who passed away from cancer linked to PFAS exposure, this law focuses on banning nonessential uses of PFAS to protect public health and the environment.

💔 Why it matters:

PFAS are toxic and don’t break down, contaminating water, soil, and our bodies. Amara’s story highlights the urgent need for action to prevent future harm.

💪 The impact:
By restricting PFAS, Minnesota is leading the fight for cleaner air, water, and a healthier future for everyone.

Let’s honor Amara’s legacy by advocating for safer policies and holding polluters accountable. 🌊🌿
