Today is Earth Day, which means your inboxes and news feeds are probably inundated with bad news about our warming planet. But how is climate change impacting us, right here in PA? Here’s a quick rundown:
How the Climate Crisis Hits PA
*
More
flooding
*
Increased
heat
and
respiratory
deaths
*
Disease
and
pests
increase
*
Disrupted
agricultural
systems
When I learn about disaster or suffering, I want to roll up my sleeves and get right to work helping folks who’ve been impacted and ensuring others aren’t hurt in the same way.
This is why I was proud to secure $1 million in federal funding to create a program that will help clean the Schuylkill River. I am also working hard to identify areas of federal funding to help Eastwick, a neighborhood in Philadelphia [[link removed]] that has experienced decades of mismanagement, industrial misuse, and environmental racism that has perpetuated generations of environmental and health inequities.
I am also ready to build on the work done by my colleague, Rep. Madeleine Dean, when I start representing Norristown after redistricting. Norristown faces significant flooding concerns, greatly exacerbated by the global climate crisis.
I know there is more to be done and I promise to do what I can in Congress to push for real, tangible action on our climate crisis nationwide and here at home.
If you are looking for ways to get involved yourself, here’s a few ideas to get you started:

With
the
primary
around
the
corner
and
the

just
months
away,
we
need
all
hands
on
deck
to

bold
climate
action
to
Congress
next
term.
Call me crazy, but I believe that protecting our planet for future generations should be our focus year round — not just during Earth Week. Get involved to ensure that your great-grandchildren have a healthy world to live in.
Sincerely,
Mary Gay
