Do you have questions or concerns about air pollution and its impacts? Help us build necessary conversations around air quality, climate change, health, and environmental justice to advocate for solutions.

Whether you’re new to advocacy or an experienced advocate, we invite you to join the Clean Air Advocacy Training sessions July 16th and July 25th. Each session will offer tools and resources to act on and advocate for cleaner air, as well as an opportunity to build connections with local air quality professionals working on these issues.  

Session topics will address:  

• Local community air quality monitoring efforts & how to get involved
• Tools to increase engagement in air permitting and zoning decisions
• Interpreting publicly available air quality data
• Exploring best practices for locating polluting sources near you
• Monitoring and enforcement strategies, such as community benefits agreements, on industries to limit emissions and track progress over time

This session will cover tools residents can use to determine the location of pollution sources in their community, as well as resources to increase engagement in air permitting and zoning decisions.
