Dear Friend, |
Polluter allies in Congress have been working overtime to dismantle environmental protections. This week alone, the House repealed a Clean Air Act rule used to protect public health and then the Senate broke its own rules to roll back states’ zero-emissions car and truck standards that clean our air. On top of all that, a big, bad budget bill is working its way through the halls of Congress that, if passed, would sell our public lands and oceans to industry, exploit our natural resources, and cut environmental justice funding and clean energy tax credits to pay for handouts to polluting industries and tax breaks for billionaires. We’ll need your help to reach out to your elected officials to side with the American people over billionaires and polluting industries. |
Advocates like you are speaking up when Congress tries to dismantle hard-won and deeply popular environmental protections, sell off our public lands and oceans, and slash environmental justice funding. The policies the Trump administration is attacking are policies that you’ve helped us build. Together, we can defend the progress we have achieved. |
Earthjustice is fighting back. Our attorneys are filing timely lawsuits challenging abuse of power. We are defending landmark laws and policies that clean up pollution and pave the way for a rapid transition to clean, affordable energy – one that doesn’t saddle any community with toxic air and water. |
Elected officials may be hearing from corporate lobbyists left and right, but they should serve the will of the people who gave them their job — you. It’s time we reminded them of that. We’ll need you in our corner as we forge ahead. |
