Through education, advocacy, and partnership, we work to shape policy solutions that create safer, healthier environments for everyone. Join us in advocating for a future where environmental health is a right, not a privilege.
As new scientific evidence emerges, we continually adapt our policy focus to address the most urgent threats to environmental health. Right now, we are championing several key initiatives aimed at improving air quality, water safety, and reducing exposure to harmful toxins.
There are many ways to take action for a healthy environment. You can find opportunities to get involved with the following initiatives that are focused on specific environmental exposures or health concerns.
Women for a Healthy Environment has been successful in its various policy priorities. In 2024 WHE worked with collaborators across the Southwestern PA region, including the Get the Lead Out public awareness campaign and the Lead Safe Allegheny Coalition to advocate for the creation of a housing advisory committee within the Allegheny County Health Department.
Women for a Healthy Environment (WHE) connects families with the resources they need to tackle environmental challenges. By working alongside dozens of partners, we protect communities—especially children—from the harmful effects of toxins in homes, schools, and early learning centers.
