If we won every time, I'd question whether we were dreaming big enough for the scale of the problem. This coalition will be stronger for this setback, what we'll achieve for our kids and schools even bigger. Today we rest, tomorrow we get up and keep going.

.Gavin Newsom pediatricians like me understand that #climatechange will be the greatest driver of health for a child born today. While our schools struggle to prepare, sb#394 helps them take advantage of critical federal dollars to protect kids’ health and learning.

Some helpful visuals re: how climate change hurts human health today👇

Anyone have suggestions for short and condense best practices for talking to colleagues about climate and health - bonus points if the focus is on people working in the health/public health sector? Thanks! Ed Maibach Paige Knappenberger
