As America confronts the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trump administration is using the crises as an excuse to reward polluters by slashing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) enforcement of environmental regulations.

In just the last week, they have announced a relaxation of the enforcement of pollution controls for power plants and other industrial producers, as well as a plan to reverse standards on car emissions.

Sign here to stand against the Trump administration’s exploitation of COVID-19 to undermine environmental standards, reward special interests, and put us all in more danger.

In normal times these attacks on the environment would be disturbing, but in the context of a pandemic that attacks the respiratory system, this move adds insult to injury.

Shockingly, the EPA went as far as to publicly waive its right to act even if there is an imminent threat to public health.

Cynthia Giles, who was in charge of enforcement in the Obama administration, remarked that she was "not aware of any instance when EPA ever relinquished this fundamental authority."

Add your name to join me in condemning the Trump administration for slashing environmental enforcement in the middle of a respiratory pandemic!

Thank you for taking action.
