This week, more than 100 doctors, tribal leaders, nurses, labor leaders, community activists, and clergy from all 50 states are coming to Washington D.C to fight for clean air. These Clean Air Ambassadors are representing themselves, their communities, and you in this fight.

So how can you help?

Send a letter to your senators and tell them that you want clean air and that you support 50 States United for Healthy Air. Clean air is fundamental to our survival.

Air pollution doesn’t recognize borders, ethnicity, or class. Our breathing is a bipartisan issue, upon which all political parties should agree.

Coal ash dust doesn’t discriminate. Carbon pollution causes climate change all over the globe. Smog and soot aren’t limited to local freeways and those living around them. Asthma rates, hospitalizations, cancer and premature deaths are soaring, The cost of dirty air is just too high to pay.

Earthjustice is proud to partner with the American Nurses Association, Hip Hop Caucus, Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Latino Coalition on Climate Change, National Council of Churches, and Physicians for Social Responsibility to make 50 States United for Healthy Air a reality.

Join our fight for clean air by telling your senators why clean air is important to you.Together, we can make a difference.

Sincerely,

Jared Saylor Campaign Director

Clean air should be a fundamental right. Air pollution causes asthma attacks, lung disease, and even death. But our bodies don't have to be the dumping ground for dirty industries.

The technology to dramatically reduce harmful air pollution is available today, and major polluters should be required to use it.

Clean Air Ambassadors from every state are sending a powerful message: Everyone has a right to breathe clean, healthy air.

It’s time Congress and the EPA used their ears to help our lungs.
