Community Health Equity

  • Vision and Goals
  • Resources
  • Faith Force

Community Health Equity is a climate campaign dedicated to advocacy in frontline communities.

Moms Clean Air Force is committed to exposing environmental injustices in frontline communities. We are taking a stand against environmental discrimination, holding legislators accountable for lack of resources, educating communities on their rights and their issues, standing with impacted communities, and fighting for clean air and climate solutions to promote healthy children and healthy communities.

We are working with faith-based communities and meeting folks where they live—in their neighborhoods, on their streets, and in their churches.

IN OUR VOICES: JUNETEENTH

Juneteenth is a stark reminder of the fight for equality and justice. Hear our friends talk about what Juneteenth means to them.
