#FightToBreathe

At Newslaundry, we don’t usually do campaigns. But air pollution is a crisis, for every single one of us, young and old.

So this time, we’re making an exception. This is our #FightToBreathe.

How can you join

The RTI Method

File an RTI. The more questions you ask of public officials, the more information you get on what they are doing to address this crisis. Share the response to your RTI with us; it could be the basis for our next story.

Repost with AQI

Tweet about your area’s AQI with #FightToBreathe. Here’s the link to trace the nearest station in your state and town. If no centres are near you, specify that in your post using the same hashtag.

Power our campaign

We are doing reports, videos, investigations, cartoons, a daily show, and expert collaborations. All this requires extensive resources. Click below to contribute an amount to your choice and be part of the fight.

Do you have a story idea or a suggestion on how to make the campaign bigger? Drop us an email at submissions@newslaundry.com.
