A respiratory pandemic is no time to scrap air pollution rules. Help fuel
our battles — in and out of court — to stop the Trump administration from
attacking our public health during a public health crisis.

Dear NRDC Activist,
"They're killing us...We don't even know what we're breathing."
These are the heartbreaking words of a mother who spoke to the Associated
Press about the air pollution pouring out of the oil refineries and
chemical plants that surround her Houston home.
Our government should be making every effort to protect families like hers
from breathing polluted air, which new and alarming studies indicate is
linked to higher COVID-19 death rates.
But instead, Trump's EPA is gutting critical pollution safeguards at the
very moment when we need them most.
NRDC is fighting hard to hold the Trump administration accountable to the
law. We just filed a lawsuit to reverse their attack on our health — but
we need your help. [ [link removed] ]Will you power our fight for the environment and
public health by rushing a special gift today?
You don't need a crystal ball to predict what will happen if the Trump
administration continues to weaken and roll back critical environmental
and public health safeguards: Millions of families will pay the price,
especially in marginalized communities and communities of color that
already suffer disproportionately from the effects of pollution.
But unless we stop it, the Trump administration will take advantage of the
COVID-19 pandemic to do even more favors for polluters.
In the past few weeks, they've illegally rolled back clean car standards
that reduce tailpipe pollution, refused to tighten restrictions on
industrial soot that would have saved 12,500 lives a year, and launched
plans to weaken limits on mercury and other toxic air pollutants from
dirty, coal-fired power plants.
Enough is enough. We cannot allow 50 years of environmental progress to be
reversed. Not during a public health crisis. Not ever.
NRDC is holding the line, and with your support, we'll continue to respond
to each and every attack swiftly and effectively. We're doing everything
in our power to protect our communities, our health, and our environment.
Your generous support is what helps power our work in and out of court
during these challenging times. [ [link removed] ]Our goal is to raise $150,000 by June 2
to power our fight. Please, rush an urgent gift right now.
If we're going to win this fight, we need as much help as we can possibly
get.
Thanks for standing with us.
Sincerely,
