On Monday September 9th, the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) hosted representatives from 26 leading national nurses organizations to discuss the critical importance of addressing extreme heat and plan for future actions. Organized and led by the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, this event aimed to discuss strategies that the 5 million nurses in the United States can implement to enhance the Biden Administration’s historic actions to address the climate crisis and help communities across the United States become more resilient to climate impacts such as extreme heat.

"Nurses hold a trusted and unique position in communities nationwide. In order to promote a healthcare workforce prepared to care for those affected by extreme heat, nurses must be included in the strategies and policies aimed at reducing climate-related health threats”, said Katie Huffling, DNP, RN, CNM, FAAN, Executive Director of the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments. “When nurses have the tools and resources to provide clear and accessible information, we can promote protections for patients and communities, especially for those at most significant risk.”

🔔 URGENT ALERT: Demand Toxic-Free IV Bags 🏥

🔔 URGENT ALERT: Demand Toxic-Free IV Bags

🏥 90% of medical patients receive IV therapy, but did you know that 70% of IV bags contain DEHP, a toxic chemical linked to breast, liver, lung and testicular cancer and reproductive harm?

👩⚕️ Who’s Affected: Everyone, but especially vulnerable groups like NICU babies and cancer patients (DEHP can block #cancer treatments and make breast cancer cells ‘immortal.’)

🌿 Solutions Exist: DEHP-free options are available and cost-effective. Leading healthcare systems, like @KaiserPermanente, have already made the switch.

🗳️ Take Action Today: Please share to raise awareness. Read the @BCPPartners report, “Toxic-Free IV: Getting Harmful Chemicals Out of IV Bags and Tubing,” & if you’re in CA, tell your state senator to support the Toxic-Free Medical Devices Act (AB2300), a first-ever ban on DEHP in IV bags and tubing. Learn more and take action by heading to the link in our bio.

Last week, the Biden-Harris Administration release

Last week, the Act of Man National Coalition, consisting of @_actofman_
@science_moms , and @extremeweathersurvivors , in partnership with @allhandsandhearts , launched a provocative and compelling new campaign ad that showcases the devastating personal impact that is a direct result of burning fossil fuels. The severity of these unnatural disasters is increasing, putting millions of Americans at risk of more severe storms, more intense heat waves and longer droughts. The aim of this campaign is to name these extreme weather events for what they truly are - unnatural disasters. You can donate to climate survivors today by heading to the link 🔗 in our bio.
