Vote for Kids Webinar

Join Children’s Environmental Health Network and partners to find out how you can protect kids’ health and their environments in the 2026 elections. Parents, caregivers, advocates, community members, healthcare providers, and public and environmental health professionals are invited to this engaging, nonpartisan discussion on identifying and electing political leaders at all levels of government who put the health of children, their future, and their families first.

Speakers will discuss key voting issues that impact our children’ s well-being, like protecting democracy, clean air, a toxic-free environment, and safer industry standards. We will also walk participants through the newly published Voter Guide for Children’s Environmental Health and Companion Toolkit. These nonpartisan resources are designed to help voters make informed decisions grounded in science, transparency, and environmental and public health protections. This will be an interactive event! Please come with questions and thoughts for our speakers.
