This weekend, my team and I marched in the DC Pride Parade. Each day I’m honored to protect access to health care and to lead the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to put the health & human services of all Americans above the hateful & harmful beliefs of a narrow-minded few.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) can help you track local air quality and understand the health risks of #wildfire smoke. When air quality is unhealthy, stay inside as much as possible and reduce outdoor activity. Check the AQI at airnow.gov.
Different colored flags showing different levels of air quality. The text says, "How do I get information about air quality where I live? Each day, you can find out what the air quality is like by checking the Air Quality Index (AQI) for where you live. The AQI tells you when high levels of air pollution are predicted for the day. You can use that information to plan for safe and healthy physical activity. Checking the AQI is easy -- anyone can do it! Look up the AQI online. Sign up to get email or text AQI alerts."

When particle pollution is high, take steps to limit the amount of air you breathe in while you’re outside. Spend more time indoors. Learn more: bit.ly/435yXbi
How can I protect myself from air pollution during physical activity? When air quality is poor, adjust your physical activity routine to avoid breathing in too much air pollution: Move your physical activities indoors Change your physical activity to something less intense (for example, walking instead of jogging) Shorten the amount of time that you’re physically active If you have asthma, be sure to keep your inhaler with you at all times – especially when you’re outside.
