How we’re making a difference in New Hampshire
October 11 named “Children’s Environmental Health Day” in Concord, New Hampshire.
On October 11, 2018, Concord Mayor Jim Bouley issued a proclamation declaring October 11 “Children’s Environmental Health Day” in the City of Concord. Moms Clean Air Force New Hampshire accepted the proclamation at the Concord City Hall.
New Hampshire champions—Senator Maggie Hassan, Congresswoman Ann Kuster, and State Senator Dan Feltes—show their commitment to fighting for our children at the New Hampshire Play-In for Our Future.
In September 2018, the New Hampshire Play-In for Our Future was held at the State House with over 200 attendees. Read more HERE.
Moms & Mayors
Our Moms & Mayors program connects moms with their mayors and local leaders to improve children’s health and build resilient communities. We educate, empower and mobilize Moms in their hometowns to work with their local elected leaders to implement clean air strategies, reduce toxins in the community, and take action on climate change. We also train Moms to join boards and commissions and urge them to run for office.
EcoMadres
Launched in September 2018, the EcoMadres program brings Latina moms together to address issues of clean air, climate, and toxics that affect the health of Latino children and families. EcoMadres is a collaboration between Moms Clean Air Force and a number of partner organizations across the US.
The program provides comadres with reliable information and solutions through online resources, articles, action tools, and on-the-ground events. Our inclusive community empowers and lifts up the voices of comadres for the benefit of our families and communities. EcoMadres has a vibrant network of state-based field teams and allies across the country.
We host cafecitos around the country that provide opportunities for the communities to discuss air quality and climate change.
Community Health Equity
Moms Clean Air Force is committed to exposing environmental injustices in the African-American community by 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.
Through our environmental health justice program Community Health Equity, our goal is to advocate, educate, and amplify through partnering with impacted communities and environmental justice organizations on events and resource development. We hold Table Talks around the country, casual gatherings that organize, motivate, and activate volunteers; partner with churches to use our “Breath of Life” Bible Study; and provide information on environmental health issues in African-American communities.
Climate change puts our coasts and communities at risk.
Sea-level rise poses a significant risk to New Hampshire communities. Hampton, New Castle, Rye, and Seabrook are particularly vulnerable and are already working to adapt to frequent flooding. The Union of Concerned Scientists found that by 2100, more than 5,000 New Hampshire homes, affecting 9,000 residents, will be at risk for chronic flooding.
Warmer temperatures also allow the tick population to flourish, which increases the spread of Lyme disease and threatens the health of our moose population.
