A 4 Asthma

A 4 Asthma At "A 4 ASTHMA", we believe that every person is entitled to breathe clean, fresh, and healthy air, especially our children.

Unfortunately, in the United States, asthma affects approximately 25 million people, with the highest rates existing among Black adults. Far too many communities are faced with high levels of pollution, to which many asthma-related deaths are attributed. Asthma, though common, is often not diagnosed and left untreated. However, many of the risk factors for developing asthma, such as smoking, indoor air pollution at home, and exposure to chemical irritants or industrial dust in the workplace can be managed or avoided. The “A 4 ASTHMA” campaign targets communities most affected by asthma. It will provide information and resources for community members; educate individuals about asthma risks; and advocate for clean, fresh, healthy air for everyone regardless of their zip code. Please JOIN, SUPPORT, BECOME EDUCATED, or if you have a question about "A 4 ASTHMA". We can be reached at:

Happy Monday, everyone 💙
Living with asthma doesn’t make you weak — it makes you remarkably strong. Every breath you take is proof of your courage and determination. Some days might feel heavy, but you’ve faced those moments before and found your rhythm again. You can do it this week, too. 💪
