Friend—
It’s hard to keep up with the chaotic news cycle, so here’s a quick update: The Trump administration is still freezing energy, environmental, and infrastructure grants despite two federal court orders forbidding it from doing so.
This isn't normal—Trump is rapidly consolidating and exercising power in egregious ways, moving our country toward a state of lawlessness and testing the limits of how much he can get away with. His administration’s illegal funding blockade of critical Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE) programs defies the Constitution, multiple federal laws, and a series of recent judicial directives explicitly directing them to resume funding commitments.
Not to mention, it’s making it harder for Americans to get clean air and water and risks driving up energy bills.
Many representatives in Congress are demanding answers, and we’re also seeing the Trump administration fumbling with attempts at doing damage control. That means public pressure is working—and that we must keep it up. The administration is counting on our silence and overwhelm to help them get away with this.
Thousands of Evergreen supporters have already called their members of Congress, but we can’t let up the pressure, friend. Will you send a message to your members of Congress today demanding that they fight back to restore these vital programs and the rule of law in our country?
