WE ACT has a long history of working to address asthma and the disproportionate rates of asthma that environmental justice communities must endure, from publishing our Unequal Air and Care: Federal Impact on Pediatric Asthma Disparities in 4 U.S. Cities report to getting the Asthma-Free Homes Act passed by the City Council.
We developed a unified Asthma Policy Agenda (PDF) that addresses housing, transportation, workers, land use, healthcare, climate, education, and more with asthma in mind. And we are creating a Community-Based Asthma Research Toolkit, which will be an evidence-based, accessible, and adaptable toolkit for community groups seeking to conduct asthma assessments.
You can learn about asthma and our work by downloading our 2024 Asthma Policy Agenda (PDF) and our Asthma Presentation (PDF). But you can also help us shape our work!
