11/2/21 #SaludTues Tweetchat: The Climate Crisis and Latinos

Climate change is making life harder for Latinos and other communities of color. 

A groundbreaking 2019 study estimated that Black and Latino populations experience 56% and 63% more pollution respectively than their activities cause.

Cities across the U.S. will experience harsher extreme weather events and increases in daily temperatures, and some might no longer be inhabitable.

How can we help?

Let’s use #SaludTues on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021, to discuss emerging strategies to reduce the use of harmful chemicals and toxins, promote clean indoor and outdoor air, and engage Latinos in speaking up for a cleaner climate and environment!
