TELL EPA: STAND UP FOR COMMUNITIES AND KIDS WITH A STRONGER CLEAN TRUCKS PLAN

EPA is close to finalizing its heavy-duty vehicle rule, but the agency might miss the chance to include life-saving updates.

Join us in demanding a stronger rule that will drive big shifts towards zero-emission vehicles and protect our communities.

Friend,

What if I told you that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could protect thousands of lives, clean up our air, and get more electric vehicles on the road by strengthening just one rule?

That's what's on the table as EPA finalizes its heavy-duty vehicle rule. 

If big industry groups like the Engine Manufacturers Association and American Trucking Association get their way, EPA will miss this opportunity to fight for our communities—unless it feels pressure from folks like you. 

Urge EPA to stand up to the big truck industry groups by setting a standard that gets us to 100 percent zero-emission trucks by 2030.

This rule would help us transition away from diesel trucks, which are so dangerous that areas with heavy truck traffic are literally called "diesel death zones."

Addressing this kind of pollution can mean healthier lives and cleaner air for the predominantly Black, Brown, and lower-income communities who are more likely to live by transportation infrastructure. 

In short, there's no better time to get this done.

Onward,
