In just a few short weeks, President Trump has closed critical environmental enforcement offices, frozen federal funding for environmental projects, and laid off thousands of federal workers. |
The administration just closed important offices within the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice tasked with holding polluters accountable and ensuring vulnerable communities have equitable access to a healthy environment. They have fired nonpartisan public servants with deep scientific knowledge and ousted staff who provide impartial expertise to ensure policies are rooted in equity and science. |
It’s time for Congress to fight back. |
Call your members of Congress and tell them to do everything they can to stop this assault on our government. |
Weakening these offices and other important federal agencies is a gift to polluting industries seeking to skirt oversight and accountability. Our communities and the environment will pay the price. |
As the weeks go by, more agencies responsible for upholding bedrock environmental protections that protect wild spaces, safeguard our clean air and clean water, and protect our planet could be next. |
The Trump administration has been issuing statements, orders, and memoranda at a frantic pace designed to confuse us and cause chaos, but we can’t let that overwhelm us. We have made too much progress in the last few years, and we will not let up the pressure to continue fighting. |
Given the stakes we are facing, this is a call to act in the most consequential fight of our lifetimes. The majority party has a very slim margin in Congress so every message from constituents truly counts. |
