The Safer Beauty for All national coalition envisions a future where beauty is defined not just by appearance, but by safety, transparency, and respect for health.

The federal Safer Beauty Bill Package lays out the foundation for that future—one where no one has to choose between self-care and safety.

This is more than a policy proposal—it’s a necessary intervention in a growing public health crisis. With cancer on the rise, we now have the opportunity to act decisively to protect millions of people from daily chemical exposures through their beauty and personal care products.

Join us by sending a pre-written digital letter to your Congressional Rep., urging their support.

New York has become the first U.S. state to impose a one-year moratorium on new large-scale data centers, citing concerns over rising electricity costs, water use, and impacts on local communities as AI infrastructure rapidly expands. The pause will give regulators time to assess how these facilities affect New Yorkers before approving additional projects.

This week, ANHE Executive Director Katie Huffling joined the Health Equity and Environment Action League’s inaugural roundtable on extreme heat and public health. The conversation highlighted the urgent need to protect programs like LIHEAP, which helps millions of households afford heating, cooling, weatherization and emergency energy support.

Nurses see firsthand how extreme heat, pollution and weakened environmental protections affect patients and communities. As Congress prepares to leave Washington, D.C. for August recess, this is an important opportunity to make sure lawmakers hear directly from nurses.

250 organizations have a message for Congress: Put people's health before chemical industry profits.

Congress must reject industry efforts to weaken our nation's chemical safety law. Instead of listening to industry lobbyists, lawmakers should hear from the people living with the consequences of toxic chemical exposure every day, including impacted communities, veterans, workers, and health professionals.

Americans deserve stronger protections from toxic chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive harm, and other serious health concerns—not dangerous rollbacks that put corporate polluters first.
