“The climate is changing and so must we. Another “hottest summer” on earth and we still can’t seem to get the message to our president and federal legislators about the urgency of climate change. In CA, small steps are being taken by our legislature to keep federal dollars ($75M) from being used to create a coal storage facility in Oakland. Coal is the dirtiest fossil fuel. The environmental health and justice issues are clear. Coal or any other form of fossil fuels are not what we need now or ever more.” -Barbara Sattler, RN, DrPH, FAAN

“California Nurses for Environmental Health and Ju

“California Nurses for Environmental Health and Justice is urging the EPA to include microplastics and nanoplastics in the final Sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 6). Growing evidence indicates that these particles, and plastic associated chemicals detected in water, including PFAS, phthalates, bisphenols, and flame retardants-may pose significant risks to human health. National monitoring is an essential first step toward understanding exposure, protecting drinking water, and preventing harm.“ - Teri Olson, RN

Check out the CNEHJ website to read the full letter submitted to EPA.

We can’t protect what we don’t measure. Check our her submission today!

“When it’s really hot, EVERYONE is at risk but some populations are especially vulnerable. As part of CNEHJ’s Extreme Heat Grant, Mechelle Perea-Ryan, RN, PhD, did an educational program for Community Health Workers in the Central Valley, where we know they serve some of the most vulnerable populations in some of the hottest communities.” ~ Barbara Sattler, RN, DrPH, FAAN

SB 1259 has already passed the Senate and its Asse

SB 1259 has already passed the Senate and its Assembly policy committees. It now heads to the floor for a full vote in the Assembly.

For generations, communities in Carson, Wilmington, and Benicia have lived in the shadow of refinery operations - breathing in toxic air, watching neighbors get sick, dealing with flares and explosions.

Now, as refineries close or idle, those same communities are being asked to plan for what’s next without knowing the most basic facts:
How contaminated is the site?
How much will cleanup cost?
Who’s paying for it?

Every other heavily polluting industry in California - coal, nuclear, solar - has to disclose this before they shut down. Refineries don’t. #sb1259 , the Refinery Transparency Act, closes that gap.

Big Oil is lobbying hard against this bill. Lawmakers need to hear from you instead. Contact your Assemblymember now to help us get it across the finish line!

Summer heat can be dangerous for kids, but a few simple steps can help keep them safe.

💧 Offer water often, even before they’re thirsty. Avoid juice or sugary drinks.
👕 Dress them in loose, light-colored clothing.
🌡️ Skip outdoor play and sports during the hottest part of the day.
🏊 Cool off with water play or spend time in air-conditioned places like libraries, malls, or movie theaters.
👶 Never leave a baby or child alone in a car. Vehicles can reach deadly temperatures in just minutes, even with the windows cracked.

Don’t take chances with the heat.

Learn how to prevent heat illness and find cool places near you at HeatReady.org.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

El calor del verano puede ser peligroso para los niños, pero algunas medidas sencillas pueden ayudar a mantenerlos seguros.

💧 Ofrézcales agua con frecuencia, incluso antes de que tengan sed. Evite los jugos y las bebidas azucaradas.
👕 Vístalos con ropa floja y de colores claros.
🌡️ Evite los juegos y deportes al aire libre durante las horas más calurosas del día.
🏊 Refrésquense jugando con agua o pasando tiempo en lugares con aire acondicionado, como bibliotecas, centros comerciales o cines.
👶 Nunca deje a un bebé o niño solo dentro de un automóvil. Los vehículos pueden alcanzar temperaturas mortales en solo unos minutos, incluso con las ventanas abiertas.

No se arriesgue con el calor.

Aprenda cómo prevenir las enfermedades causadas por el calor y encuentre lugares frescos cerca de usted en HeatReady.org.
