Climate action of the day: Tell your federal representatives about the impacts of extreme heat on our children -- and what they can do about it! Our children are especially vulnerable to extreme heat. Their bodies heat up faster. They dehydrate more quickly. And they’re at higher risk of serious illness that can affect their health and development. This is already happening. Congress needs to act. Now ⤵️
