Between 2.5 and 6 million Indigenous people live in the United States, where generations of systemic abuses have often led to chronic poverty, poor health care, substandard housing, and inadequate protection from sources of pollution. Air pollution causes or exacerbates almost all of the major health disparities experienced by Indigenous people, making it especially urgent to improve air quality on tribal lands.
This Thursday, April 15 at 6PM ET, #Indigenous leaders from Moms Clean Air Force and the National Tribal Air Association will gather on Facebook Live for a special round table discussion about how air pollution and #ClimateChange impact Indigenous communities and what what we can do to ensure #JusticeInEveryBreath.
WATCH LIVE HERE! on Thursday, April 15 @6pm ET!
