Since the COVID-19 crisis began, Trump has pursued a litany of anti-environmental rollbacks

Dear NRDC Action Fund Supporter,

In the midst of a global crisis, the Trump administration is prioritizing polluters and further threatening our public health.

Throughout the course of the COVID-19 crisis, the Trump administration has continued rolling back public health protections — wreaking havoc on our environment, fouling our air and water, further derailing climate progress, and disproportionately harming communities of color and Indigenous communities.

In the midst of a respiratory pandemic — where preliminary health studies have linked air pollution exposure with higher death rates — we need a president who protects our public health, our clean air, and our environment. And we need elected leaders who understand the severity of the climate crisis and how industrial pollution impacts both our health and our climate.

Please, add your name now to demand the Trump administration stop threatening our public health and the future of the planet!

Since the COVID-19 crisis first began in the United States back in March, the Trump administration has pursued a litany of anti-environmental rollbacks:

  • In March, the EPA began allowing polluters to use COVID-19 as an excuse to stop monitoring and reporting on their pollution; and the Trump administration rolled back landmark automobile emissions and fuel efficiency standards, allowing cars and trucks to pollute even more ... and crippling one of our most promising measures for fighting climate change
  • In May, Trump instructed agencies to roll back or stop enforcing a wide range of public health and environmental safeguards
  • And in June, EPA finalized a rule that will gut critical elements of the Clean Water Act, and Trump issued a sweeping executive order allowing the government to ram through polluting projects without adequate environmental reviews

Enough is enough.

Can we count on you to stand with us and sign our petition to the White House calling on Trump to STOP the attacks on our public health?

Our sister organization, NRDC, already filed litigation in response to EPA’s decisions to roll back enforcement of industrial pollution standards and the clean car rule. And NRDC is engaged in a lawsuit over EPA’s broader rollback of the Clean Water Act.

Meanwhile, the NRDC Action Fund is doing everything in our power to mobilize pro-environment, pro-science voters across the country to vote Trump and his anti-environment allies out of office this fall.

But in the meantime, we must continue holding the administration accountable for its outrageous anti-environment track-record.

Can we count on you to take urgent grassroots action and express your opposition to the Trump administration’s attacks on public health protections, before it's too late?

Sincerely,

Kevin Curtis
Executive Director, NRDC Action Fund
