We are
seeing the disastrous effects of climate change firsthand as wildfires
rage across California while Hurricane Laura is already hitting the Gulf
Coast and gaining strength.

Climate change and fossil fuel pollution are already wreaking havoc – with
low-income and communities of color being hit first and worst. Without
immediate action, this crisis will only get worse. Climate and
environmental justice are public health issues that impact every facet of
our health, especially during COVID-19.

That's why we are continuing our COVID-19 educational webinar series this
Thursday to address the intersection of COVID-19 and the climate crisis.

The climate crisis has magnified the impacts of this global pandemic in
numerous ways. For example, long-term exposure to air pollution has been
linked to a large increase in the COVID-19 death rate.^1 Enforcing and
strengthening pollution regulations would not only protect more human
lives during the COVID-19 crisis, but for decades to come.

We have the solution to these crises — but we need to grow support to
combat climate change, and implement measures necessary to fight this
pandemic. Joining our webinar this Thursday is the first step in
strengthening our fight by discussing and sharing the knowledge we all
need to fight back.

[ [link removed] ]Join us tomorrow to learn more about the effects of climate change on
our global health and the connection between COVID-19 and environmental
justice.

Together we can take action to improve both our response to the pandemic
and our pursuit of climate justice.

Thank you for everything you do,
