Friend,

We need your help. While we are all focusing on the pandemic, corporate polluters are fully exploiting the crisis. Through the course of this crisis, the Trump administration has made it pretty clear whose side they are on (hint: it is not the environment).

Here are a number of ways corporate polluters are taking advantage of the pandemic:

The plastic bag industry is actively working to block laws that ban single-use plastic, citing that reusable plastic bags put Americans at risk. (California’s ban)
GM & Toyota are siding with the Trump administration against California’s ability to set our own auto emissions standards.
The EPA suspended enforcement of environmental laws.
The EPA won’t limit mercury and other harmful pollutants from power plants, which would increase air pollution during a public health crisis.

We cannot allow corporate polluters to take advantage of COVID-19. We have been given the opportunity to re-evaluate our ways of life and transform our economy. Moving toward a sustainable and clean future will not only create new opportunities, but protect the future of our planet.

We cannot fight against Big Oil and corporate polluters alone.

We only have 10 years to lessen the impacts of the climate crisis. We can’t solve the coronavirus crisis by going backwards on climate action.

As always, thank you for your support!

In solidarity,

Jennifer Molina

Communications Director
