URGENT ACTION NEEDED:

STOP Trump’s EPA from Letting Corporate Polluters Run Amok

 Over 15 years ago, the EPA affirmed that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and our environment. This “Endangerment Finding” serves as the basis for federal climate protections, like cleaner vehicle standards and limits on carbon pollution from power plants.

Now, the Trump EPA is trying to deny the harmful climate impacts that scientists have confirmed — and communities around the country have felt firsthand — and allow polluters to spew unlimited toxins into our air. Tell the Trump administration that our lives are more important than corporate polluters’ profits.

We have a narrow window to act, and we need your help to fight this reckless, heartless, harmful move. TAKE ACTION NOW >>

Friend — one of the Trump administration’s most dangerous attacks on our climate and communities is underway, and we need your voice to help stop it.

Trump’s EPA is trying to deny that climate pollutants (a.k.a. greenhouse gases) are a threat to public health by removing the basis for all federal climate regulations known as the Endangerment Finding.

Leave a public comment to say NO to Trump’s reckless, pro-polluter scheme that would drastically harm our health, communities, and climate. Urge the EPA to keep the Endangerment Finding intact >>

If EPA goes through with this, it would deny the experiences of tens of millions of our neighbors, friends, and families who have experienced fossil-fueled climate disasters like deadly floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires, and hand Big Polluters a free pass to continue spewing greenhouse gases into our air and worsen the climate crisis.

This is climate denial and fossil-fueled corruption at its absolute worst, Friend, and it WILL harm our communities. We need every voice in our movement to speak out before it’s too late.

Here’s what’s at stake if we don’t take action now:

• More pollution and fewer guardrails for polluters. By denying that climate change harms our communities, the EPA will toss out limits on carbon pollution from cars, trucks, and power plants, essentially giving companies free rein to pollute.
   
• Worsening public health. More tailpipe exhaust from vehicles means more asthma attacks, strokes, heart disease, cancer, and premature deaths, especially among communities of color, low-income communities, and children and seniors.
   
• Higher costs for families. Rolling back cleaner cars standards means less fuel-efficient vehicles, deepens our reliance on climate-destroying fossil fuels, and could cost everyday people hundreds of dollars a year at the pump, while enriching Trump’s fossil fuel donors.
   
• More climate chaos. With Trump’s EPA denying climate change and giving Big Polluters a free pass, we can expect even more frequent and severe wildfires, droughts, floods, and crop failures, driving up costs and food insecurity while deadly heat and storms ravage our communities.

We need to be working to SOLVE the climate crisis, not ACCELERATING it.

Please, fight back by telling the EPA that climate change is real, greenhouse gases are harmful to our health, and the 2009 Endangerment Finding and Cleaner Vehicle Standards MUST stay intact >>

Thank you for standing up for science and helping to protect our climate, health, and future.
