The U.S. is in a caregiver crisis. Caregiving is time-consuming, exhausting, and expensive, and for ALS caregivers, it only gets more expensive as the disease progresses. Tell Congress to pass the Credit for Caring Act: bit.ly/credit4care

“MAHA” says environmental exposures are driving chronic disease. So why is the EPA of the same administration weakening protections against some of the best-documented environmental health risks? Yet again, California stepping into the void of federal leadership.
