| Dear Friend, |
| Congressional Republicans plan to ram through the worst environmental bill ever considered in Congress to advance President Trump’s agenda. |
| The list of harmful provisions is expansive. The bill sells out our public lands and oceans to the lowest bidder, eliminates critical funding programs and tax credits for clean energy, exploits our natural resources, cuts environmental justice funding, and tries to make many of these actions immune from court challenges. All to pay for handouts to polluting industries and tax breaks for billionaires. |
| Don’t let Congress vote to devastate our environment, hurt our communities, and increase energy prices. Tell your elected officials to protect our health, our public lands and oceans, and our affordable clean energy future. |
| Polluter allies in Congress are pushing a big, bad budget bill with priorities such as: |
- Opening the Arctic and other cherished public lands and oceans to oil and gas drilling, mining, and logging
- Creating loopholes that allow polluters to ‘pay-to-pollute’ and circumvent bedrock environmental laws like the National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act to evade accountability from communities and courts
- Defunding Inflation Reduction Act grants that are lowering energy costs and cleaning up pollution in communities facing disparate impacts of environmental injustices and climate change
- Effectively repealing the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits that are driving hundreds of billions of dollars in investment and hundreds of thousands of jobs into communities across the country
|
| This means fewer resources to tackle our most pressing environmental crises while polluting industries reap the benefits. It means extracting resources from public lands and waters to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. It means taking away people’s healthcare and cutting funding for federal agencies that are tasked with helping communities that face disasters. It means increasing costs and putting financial stress on our families to line the pockets of billionaires. It also means that the courts would not be able to stop the dire harms from the Trump agenda. |
| We need you to tell your Members of Congress to vote NO on this disastrous bill. |
| Ask your elected officials to side with the American people by actively and publicly opposing any legislation that gives away our public lands, carves out handouts for polluting industries, cuts funding for programs that invest in our health and environment, and eviscerates the rule of law. |
| Now is the time to make your voice heard. Every Member of Congress needs to hear from their constituents that we are watching them to see who fights for polluters and billionaires and who fights for the public good. |
