A breaking
news update for you this morning:
We've just filed a lawsuit in federal court against the EPA over its
decision to roll back enforcement of critical environmental safeguards
during the COVID-19 pandemic. A global public health crisis is NOT an
excuse to allow corporate polluters to flout the protections that keep us
safe and healthy — and the courts are our best shot at forcing the EPA to
do its duty and hold polluting industries accountable.
[ [link removed] ]We need your help to build the strongest case possible and power all of
our ongoing litigation efforts. Please, make an urgent gift for the
environment TODAY.
Find out more about the Trump EPA's dangerous pollution monitoring and
reporting rollbacks in the email below.
This is NRDC's 106th lawsuit against the Trump administration — and we've
won 92% of the cases that have been resolved — an astounding record of
success fighting back against illegal actions by this president that harm
our environment and public health. And we're confident that with this
lawsuit, we will prevail again.

COVID-19 is NOT an Excuse to Stop Regulating Polluters

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

Dear NRDC Activist,
How low can this administration go?
We have an answer: While the country is overwhelmed by a massive public
health crisis, Trump's EPA has announced that it's rolling back critical
pollution safeguards.
Polluting industries — fossil fuel and chemical companies, and more — can
hide behind the COVID-19 pandemic (which could go on for months) and stop
monitoring and reporting dangerous air and water pollution. They could
even be exempt from penalties for violating pollution limits.
To make matters worse, the administration is also rolling back 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.
NRDC will respond immediately — taking the EPA to court if that's what it
takes to stop these polluter giveaways. [ [link removed] ]So please help power our legal
battles — rush an emergency gift to stop the administration from undoing
critical environmental and public health protections during the COVID-19
crisis.
This pandemic has made it abundantly clear that scientific expertise and
public health protections are essential for our wellbeing.
It's also made clear that the Trump administration is taking advantage of
an unprecedented crisis to do favors for polluters. By throwing open the
door to more pollution, Trump's EPA is creating new public health risks
for people at a time where public health risks are already skyrocketing.
Chemical plants, oil and gas operations, power plants, steel mills, coal
plants, and other polluters could stop monitoring and reporting on their
pollution — and potentially even exceed crucial limits for pollution —
without penalty or alerting the public.
It's dangerous. And it must be stopped. [ [link removed] ]Please, make an urgent gift to
power our critical legal work today.
NRDC is doing all that we can to keep communities across the country safe.
We're fighting to ensure that nobody lacks access to water, gas, and
electricity services during the COVID-19 crisis.
And we've seen progress: After public pressure from NRDC and local
partners, the governor of Michigan ordered all households without water to
be reconnected, and the governor of California ordered a moratorium on
shutoffs and water service restorations at recently disconnected
households. These actions are helping give families increased access to
water.
During these difficult times, NRDC continues to fight back. Because we
cannot — and we will not — allow this administration to stifle science and
put our air, water, climate, and public health at risk. [ [link removed] ]We need you
standing with us. Make a special gift now and we'll put it straight to
work.
With your support, we will keep battling until science and public health
prevail. NRDC has filed 105 lawsuits against the Trump administration.
With the law on our side, we've won 92 percent of the cases resolved so
far.
But we can't hold the line on so many fronts at once without your support.
[ [link removed] ]Join us in this fight with a gift now.
On behalf of all of us here at NRDC, thank you for everything you do. I
hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this
trying time.
Sincerely,
[1]Gina

President, NRDC
