Care about clean air? Clean Air Moms Pledge to Vote

Care about clean air? Clean Air Moms Pledge to Vote on November 8

We live in the city of Atlanta. While I absolutely love where we live, there is one thing that really bothers me about this city. There are many, many nights we go outside and we cannot see the stars. Traffic in this city causes such a large amount of pollution that I can often not see the stars in the sky and this means that neither can my children. It makes me sad because we live in such an amazing city but the air here is not great. Care about clean air? Clean Air Moms Pledge to Vote on November 8 #CleanAirMomsVote.

As moms we care deeply about protecting the health of our children and grandchildren. It’s our job to stand up for our children. Harmful pollution, climate change and toxic chemicals are putting our precious children at risk. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I want to live in a city where going outside and looking at the stars with my children is something easy to do. I don't want to have to travel 30+ minutest to see a clear sky. No one should have to live like that. Now is the time to take a stand and fight for the clean air that we desperately need for our families.

Did you know that on election day your vote can elect candidates who care about these issues?

Why Clean Air Matters

CLEAN AIR. Air pollution from fossil fuels leads to bad air quality in too many communities. Increases in smog can trigger asthma attacks and exacerbate other chronic health problems. Do not let your child’s health be voted away to protect polluters’ profits. Instead, VOTE to protect little lungs from toxic air pollution.

CLIMATE CHANGE. The same harmful pollution that is making our children sick is causing rising temperatures and extreme weather events. Our changing climate is making smog worse. It increases respiratory health threats, particularly for people with allergies and asthma. Also intense heat waves exacerbate heart and lung conditions. VOTE for candidates who support proposals to cut methane emissions from the oil and gas industry. And vote to put our country on a clean energy path while protecting American jobs!

TOXIC CHEMICALS. Dangerous chemicals are found in our daily lives. They often enter our homes and bodies without our realizing it. In fact, these chemicals may not even have been disclosed, identified or studied. Thousands of toxic chemicals found in everyday products are linked to potential reproductive and developmental toxicity, endocrine disruption, birth defects, cancer, asthma, headaches and skin irritants. Children are among the most vulnerable to such chemicals.

Clean Air Moms

The upcoming election has been dominated by divisive candidate issues, but there’s one thing that we all should be able to agree on: harmful pollution, climate change, and toxic chemicals are putting our families at risk — and it doesn’t have to be that way!

This fall Clean Air Moms Action is traveling the country with a documentary film crew capturing the stories of parents who are fighting daily to protect their children’s health effects of exposure to oil & gas productions, high-tide flood waters, and ground water contamination from coal ash waste sites.
