Target: U.S. Congress, Department of Labor, Environmental Protection Agency, State Governors

Goal: We call on local, state, and federal officials to take urgent action to protect public health and ensure climate justice in the face of extreme heat and humidity.

This summer, record-breaking humidity and heat have made it harder than ever for millions of Americans to stay safe and healthy. As climate change intensifies, vulnerable communities, outdoor workers, and those without access to air conditioning are bearing the brunt of these dangerous conditions.

Extreme heat waves and high humidity are not just uncomfortable—they are deadly. Scientists and meteorologists have warned that air masses 'sitting and festering' are creating record-high dew points, pushing up heat indexes and making it harder for people—especially those in marginalized communities and essential jobs—to cool off, rest, and recover.

Climate change is making these events more frequent and severe, and government action is urgently needed. We must prioritize the health and safety of workers, the elderly, children, and all those at risk. This means enacting strong workplace protections, investing in cooling centers, and accelerating the transition to clean energy to address the root causes of climate change.

Key Demands

Implement mandatory workplace heat safety standards to protect outdoor and indoor workers from dangerous heat and humidity.
Fund and expand access to public cooling centers, especially in low-income and high-risk neighborhoods.
Invest in climate resilience infrastructure, including green spaces and energy-efficient housing.
Accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate future climate disasters.
Ensure equitable access to health care and emergency services for those affected by extreme heat.
