The Trump administration has done a lot of despicable things, but it's hard to think of anything worse than exploiting the COVID-19 crisis to reduce enforcement of environmental regulations. As we deal with a pandemic that attacks the respiratory system, the Trump administration announced the relaxation of environmental regulations that keep our air safe to breathe. Add your name to stand with me to stand up to the Trump administration's despicable attempt to take advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to reward special interests by allowing more pollution. This announcement means the end of meaningful enforcement of pollution controls for industrial producers, as well as a reversal of standards for car emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency also put out guidance that publicly waived its right to act even if there’s an imminent threat to public health. This move is unprecedented and puts all of us in danger. It’s up to us to speak out and make sure the Trump administration doesn't get away with it. Add your name to join me in condemning the Trump administration for slashing environmental protections in the middle of a pandemic! Thank you for standing up for your neighbors. Debbie
