Southeast CARE Coalition
DEQ petition for monitoring[1][2]
Week-long camp for children with asthma that included an educational piece on air quality and its health impacts.[3]
The Southeast Asthma Network was the public health arm of the Southeast Development Corporation, the organization led by Mr. DeBrew, that oversaw the Southeast CARE Coalition. The Southeast Asthma Network was a partnership with the American Lung Association, the Virginia Asthma Coalition, MOMS, a parent-led group, CINCH, a children's health group at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, and the Peninsula Health District.
The Southeast CARE Coalition has worked on other issues, including food accessibility[4][5] and water quality.[6]

Thayer's Letter to the Editor, June 5, 2015: "I have lived in the Southeast Community of Newport News for 14 years. My family lived in Harbor Homes for 10 years before is was torn down. It was difficulty dealing with the coal dust coming in my windows constantly, and I wondered how it would affect my then-teenage daughter. We have moved to Ridley Circle (only a block away) and while the coal dust is not as visible, we know it is still there. I have been working with the Southeast CARE Coalition for a few months, doing whatever I can to help our neighborhood. I hope Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources Molly Ward and the Department of Environmental Quality Director David Taylor will become involved in making our neighborhood a better lace to live. Thank you for publishing articles about our dilemmas. Maybe making the problems more well known will encourage more of my neighbors to get involved."[7]
