Camp Easy Breezy Offers Six Weeks of Fun for New Haven Children Suffering from Asthma
New Haven’s asthma hospitalization rate is more than 5 times higher than the state average
What: Children in New Haven are exposed to secondhand smoke frequently and adults report using tobacco products around them. As a result, New Haven has an asthma hospitalization rate that is five times higher than the state average.
To combat this, the New Haven Department of Parks and Recreation and New Haven Health Department are holding the third annual Camp Easy Breezy for children with asthma and their siblings this summer. Campers will learn how to use their asthma medications, identify asthma triggers and better control their asthma while enjoying traditional camp activities and field trips. Registered nurses will be on-site during normal camp hours, as well as field trips.
Recently, New Haven’s Asthma Alliance Program was named a finalist in the Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge, an initiative sponsored by the American Public Health Association, the National Association of Counties and the Aetna Foundation. Camp Easy Breezy is a component of the Asthma Alliance program — a coordinated effort to reduce the impact of asthma on low-income children in New Haven.
Interview Opportunities:

WASHINGTON, DC (May 7, 2018) – The Justice Roundtable , a Washington-based coalition of over 100 justice organizations and advocates advancing federal criminal justice policy reforms, announces the launch of a six-month social media impact campaign, Vote for Justice.
The campaign will kick off with a May 9th event, Vote for Justice: An Evening of Empowerment with Artists and Activists at Washington DC’s Newseum. The event will take audience members through a historic exploration of the different sectors where the criminal punishment system wreaks havoc; identify the generational, human and equity costs of mass incarceration; and offer solutions to reform our criminal justice system.
The event will be hosted by Tichina Arnold and Michael Eric Dyson .
Readings and testimonials will be performed by Senator Kamala Harris, Michael K. Williams, Congressman Cedric Richmond, Congressman Lacy Clay, State Attorney Kim Foxx, District Attorney Larry Krasner, Open Society Foundations President Patrick Gaspard, Mic Video Columnist Brittany Packnett, Shaun King, Desmond Meade, 11-year-old Naomi Wadler, Carmen Perez, Kemba Smith, Jamira Burley, Jessica Perez, Judith Browne Dianis, former NFL player Donté Stallworth, Charlene Carruthers, Udi Ofer and more.

The Vote for Justice campaign will bring art and culture together with education and civic engagement, encouraging the public to imagine what justice looks like in the months leading up to the midterm elections. At the same time, Vote for Justice will normalize progressive narratives on criminal justice system transformation by making the concept of justice personal and proximate to voters and potential voters.

We hope to lift up the work of advocates on the ground, who push back on a daily basis against policies and practices that have allowed mass incarceration to flourish.”
Following the Vote for Justice event, The Justice Roundtable will lead a public call to action for justice reform, titled #JusticeLooksLike. The action-oriented, social media challenge will lead up the 2018 midterm election. The nonpartisan Vote for Justice event and campaign will not endorse or support any particular candidate.
