Breathe Again Logo From Flyer

May is Clean Air Month!  Did you know that more than 40% of the US is breathing dirty air? We have the power to take action!

Join us Tuesday evening, May 3, 7:00-8:30 pm via Zoom.

Learn more about the issues surrounding air pollution, its public health impact, and to learn how to contact our elected officials and ask them to take action.

Anne Mellinger-Birdsong, Medical Education Advisor of Mothers and Others for Clean Air, will be our guest speaker. The mission of Mothers and Others for Clean Air is to protect children's health by reducing the impacts of air pollution and climate change. Clean, healthy air is essential to good health. When you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.

Join us as we learn how air pollution effects the health of children and adults, its causes, and what can be done.

There is no charge for this Zoom event sponsored by Northern Illinois Conference United Women in Faith.
