| Dear Friend, |
| Thanks in part to the advocacy of tens of thousands of Earthjustice supporters, one of the most effective federal laws for protecting communities from polluting industries and building a just and equitable clean energy future was just restored. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ensures that communities have a voice in the project development process. It helps people protect themselves from dangerous, rushed, or poorly planned federal projects while also incorporating communities' input to make better, more resilient projects. After NEPA was gutted in the last year of the Trump administration, the Biden administration restored and improved the NEPA regulations this month. Join us in thanking the Biden administration for restoring the people’s environmental law. |
| For over 50 years, NEPA has given communities a voice and Earthjustice will continue to defend its integrity and fight back attempts in Congress to undermine its intent. Whether it’s a highway expansion, toxic incinerator, or polluting power plant, this law helps communities protect their health, lives, and livelihoods. As we build out the clean energy infrastructure of the future, NEPA will play a critical role in ensuring we build strong, resilient projects that benefit local communities. Despite industry opposition, NEPA is the bridge, not the barrier, to our clean energy future. |
| The Biden administration is reversing the worst impacts of the former Trump administration’s rollbacks to public input and environmental review under NEPA. In the final rule, the Biden administration not only restored NEPA to its commonsense intent but improved the regulations so that the transition to the clean energy future is not only swift, but equitable. Take a moment and join us in thanking the Biden administration for restoring the people’s environmental law. |

Sincerely,
Stephen Schima
