“There are two things that I value above all else for my kids: their education and their health. It should be easy, in this country, to take for granted that all children have a right to a solid education and to health care. We know that is not the case. Many children, particularly those in predominantly Black and Brown communities, face significant challenges in accessing quality education and quality health care. The effects of climate change and extreme heat further exacerbate these disparities.”
