Getting active this year? If you or someone in your family has asthma, start slow, listen to your body, and follow your asthma plan.
Before exercising outdoors, check the SJVAir app to see your local air quality and protect your lungs.

New reporting from NPR shows how strong air quality rules protect public health, and why recent EPA actions are concerning. These shifts could harm Central Valley families who rely on clean air protections.
www.npr.org/2026/01/13/n...
The EPA is changing how it considers the costs and benefits of air pollution rules
The EPA won't consider the economic costs of harms to human health, at least for now. Legal and health experts are concerned that the change could make it easier for the agency to roll back rules.

California utilities want to boost their profits in the midst of an affordability crisis. Today, 67 groups told @GavinNewsom and @californiapuc: Enough. Reject these increases and put ratepayers first by cutting profit margins.

✍️ SIGN THE PETITION: Tell @californiapuc @GavinNewsom to cut utility profits to reasonable rates. While families struggle with bills, utilities want MORE profit. We deserve affordable energy. act.sierraclub.org/actions/Nati...
ACT: The CPUC Must Protect Ratepayers, Not Shareholders
Affordable power is essential for a clean energy future. Tell the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to stand with Californians, not corporate utilities demanding double profits.
