Addressing toxic exposures and climate change threats to create a healthy tomorrow for families.
Creating a safe community where families can thrive requires us to acknowledge and address the harmful impact of climate change and environmental hazards through programs, education, research and advocacy.
This working group will take actions that include:
The Women’s Fund Miami-Dade
Air Alliance Houston
This working group is comprised of over 40 individual and organizational partners, including:
NCEH works to prevent illness, disability and death from contacts between people and the environment. Its staff is committed to protecting the health of vulnerable populations — children, the elderly, and people with disabilities – from certain environmental hazards.
Learn about the EPA's Office of Environmental Justice. Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.
ECHO aims to enhance the health of children and adolescents through research that may help inform healthcare practices, programs, and policies.
Every family can have the best possible start. But today, too many moms and babies are dying or experiencing serious health complications related to childbirth—and far too many are moms and babies of color. Only by working together can we confront inequities and ensure the health and wellbeing of every family.
