The Trump administration is pushing policies that harm our most vulnerable children
SIGN YOUR NAME:
DEMAND an end to Trump’s attacks on our children’s health
ADD MY NAME
The Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus is risking the safety and well-being of our children.
First, the Trump administration is rolling back regulations to limit the amount of mercury and other toxic metals released by power plants. Not only is mercury linked to brain damage, but exposure to this kind of pollution is linked to respiratory problems that make people even more susceptible to coronavirus. Here in Texas, 1 in every 11 children already suffers from asthma, and our state is home to nearly 20% of the country's 4 million uninsured kids.
Add my name: Protect our kids! If that weren't enough, the Trump administration wants to lower school nutrition standards. Nearly 1 in 4 kids in TX-23 lives in poverty. They rely on school-provided meals for their daily nutrition, even when schools are closed. Replacing these meals with unhealthy ones puts our kids at an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease.
President Trump’s administration is endangering the lives of our kids. They'll do anything to prioritize corporate profits, even if it comes at the expense of our kids' health and safety.
This is an attack on America’s children. Sign our petition right now if you think this is unacceptable! We need 2,000 signatures by midnight!
Protect our children! Thank you for adding your name,
