Hey, it’s Aru with some huge news!

On Tuesday, Sunrise Movement and a coalition of labor and environmental justice groups won historic heat safety rules from President Biden and the United States Department of Labor. The pressure from Sunrise hubs and grassroots groups around the country worked.

36 million workers will now have guaranteed access to water, cooling areas, and breaks when temperatures reach dangerous levels.

No one should die on the job because they weren’t given a water break. But unfortunately, as climate change gets worse, millions of farm, construction, delivery, and food service workers face increasing risk of death or injury as a result of extreme heat.

These new rules are a critical step towards providing everyone a safe home and workplace in the face of climate disaster.

But there is more work to do. We’re continuing to urge Biden to declare a climate emergency and use every tool at his disposal to stop burning fossil fuels and save lives.

That includes actions such as building renewable and resilient electricity grids, updating FEMA rules to provide resources for responding to extreme heat and wildfire smoke, and ending our government’s funding for fossil fuels abroad.
