| Dear Friend, |
| In the last several months, federal agencies have made big strides in finalizing important federal protections to protect public health and help our planet. |
| They have finalized over a dozen major environmental safeguards, ranging from the first-ever limits on how much carbon pollution U.S. coal plants and new gas plants can emit to establishing the first-ever standards for toxic PFAS in drinking water to implementing stronger air quality standards that will reduce the harms of deadly air pollution for communities across the country. These standards build on the historic climate investments in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to boost the clean energy economy and reduce harmful pollution. |
| This historic climate funding and these rules advance an ambitious vision for solving the most pressing environmental problems of our time. |
| However, polluting industries that worked to weaken these rules are now enlisting allies in Congress to dismantle significant climate progress, including by repealing or cutting the Inflation Reduction Act and reversing the new environmental protections. |
| We must speak up to defend our climate. We must call on Congress to stop attacks by big polluters and their allies. |
| We are facing the hottest summer on record with deadly heatwaves, destructive hurricanes, and wildfires, so we must demand leadership from our Congressional representatives to meet the realities of climate change and protect important standards that limit pollution, clean up our air, and improve our health. |
