Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action
Because climate solutions are health solutions
Equity Statement
We acknowledge the existing health disparities resulting from years of racism and systematic disinvestment in Indigenous communities and communities of color in America. We recognize how the burning and extracting of fossil fuels and resulting climate change, will disproportionally impact people of color, the elderly and the young, and low-income communities. We strive to amplify the voices and solutions from impacted populations to ensure equitable action that improves the health well-being of all people.
