Friend —
Happy Earth Day 🌎! Like everything else since the pandemic hit,
Earth Day feels a bit strange and distant without the familiar
gatherings and traditions. But there's still a concrete action you can
take today, right now to help protect the planet.
Andrew Wheeler, the coal industry shill currently
pretending to be an EPA administrator, announced back in March that
the EPA will simply...no longer enforce environmental laws!
Really.
So today, we need you to call your state's Attorney
General and tell them to SUE TRUMP for flagrantly ignoring the health
and safety of our communities — and the law. Permission to pollute
is not a bailout. It's a sellout.
If your Attorney General has already pledged to sue Trump on this
issue or is part of a suit, express your support and tell them you
will be watching.
Andrew Wheeler is an extreme example of the revolving door between
corporations and our supposed government watchdogs, but very far from
the only one. The parties of Wall Street, Pollution and War
sell access through the legalized bribery of
"lobbying." The Green Party refuses all corporate
contributions, which means we rely on contributions from
everyday folks like you.
For the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day will give you
$50 or even $500 to the party that puts Planet, People and Peace Over
Profit? A Real Green New Deal depends on electing Greens across the
nation and challenging duopoly rule.
We've
set up our action page so you just have to enter your
state and then your Attorney General office's phone number will come
right up. If you bring the page up on your smartphone you only have to
click on the number to dial! Call them today, be heard, tell
us how you did and share this action with your family and
friends.
The planet depends on your willingness to act.
And we're depending on you to keep growing this
grassroots party with grassroots contributions. Anything
you can give will make us stronger this year.
Happy Earth Day, Green Party of the United States
P.S. Great news! The Green Party will be on the ballot in Illinois
this year, thanks to a lawsuit. But we have many more states where the
pandemic is making candidate petitioning impossible. Please sign up
today as a
Green Party Monthly Sustainer at $10, $15 or $20
per month so we can keep fighting for our candidates' rights!
