We need your story to save the air we breathe!

The promise of the Clean Air Act is healthful air to breathe. Right now, it is under strong attack in Congress by some who would weaken its provisions, delay clean up, or worse, allow an increase in toxic pollutants. The data is clear that this will harm children, older adults, those living with asthma and other lung diseases, those with cardiovascular disease, and more.

But data alone is not convincing some in Congress. Help us make them understand why clean air is so essential. Tell us your story!

We need to hear from you – click here to tell us why clean air matters to you!

Perhaps it’s because you have a child or grandchild who has asthma that’s exacerbated by dirty air. Or maybe it’s for you.

The truth is clean air helps us all:

Air pollution causes asthma attacks, emergency room visits and hospitalizations, long-term lung and cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and premature death in seniors and infants;
Just last year, the Clean Air Act prevented 160,000 premature deaths nationwide.

Your story ensures that the statistics and science we have on our side come to life. We will use them in our continued outreach to Congress, until they are no longer divided – but firmly on the side of clean air and a healthy future.
