John,

A recent study shows that even a tiny increase in fine particulate matter air pollution increases death rates from COVID-19. And the hardest hit are low-income communities and people of color, who are disproportionately exposed to pollution.

Now, Trump is making the problem worse. With a highly contagious lung disease raging, his administration has taken actions to allow even more air pollution into our communities.

Mike and Gina McCarthy, former administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, explained today why these actions are so dangerous. Read their article.

The Trump administration has mounted a slow and inadequate response to COVID-19 -- but they've wasted no time trying to help polluters. In the last month, the administration has refused to regulate polluters and has undermined existing standards -- including protections that were saving more than 10,000 lives, and preventing 130,000 asthma attacks and nearly 5,000 heart attacks a year.

Read Mike and Gina's article to get the facts on how the Trump administration is putting air polluters over people -- even as thousands fall victim to a deadly respiratory illness:
