There are many ways to help Get Involved to advocate for everyone's right to adequate living standards!
You can join Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins in her fight to create a clean living environment for everyone!
"People of color and low-income Americans breathe more dirty air, live closer to polluting industries, suffer higher rates of asthma, and are more vulnerable to climate change.
We’re working to keep our air clean and our communities safe."
This is important to advocate for because it promotes unity within America. To fight for clean air, safe water and healthy communities is to fight for everyone's rights and it promotes a better world.

Communities of color and those with low education and high poverty and unemployment may face greater health risks even if their air quality meets federal health standards. Read more here
