Help STOP Elon Musk’s Attacks on the Environment >> [link removed] DEVELOPING — Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have
seized access to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) contracts and
payments system, and they aim to slash climate and environmental justice
programs — AND just this week, Trump and EPA Administrator Zeldin said they want
to cut EPA by 65 percent with the help of Musk and his DOGE cronies. This comes as Musk and his team have targeted environmental agencies with
unprecedented layoffs and halt-work orders. Musk has threatened to terminate more than 1,100 employees at the EPA and has
put the ENTIRE Office of Environmental Justice and anyone with environmental
justice in their job descriptions on administrative leave. Without staff or budget to carry out their mission — and with Musk controlling
the payments systems — environmental agencies will be prevented from enforcing our most fundamental
environmental laws,including keeping communities safe from pollution and cleaning up after
environmental disasters. Friend, we need your help to STOPElon Musk’s illegal attacks on agencies that make our communities healthy,
protect us from natural disasters, and combat the climate crisis. Help us fight back against Musk’s illegal power grab. Please — renew your membership today. Give whatever you can — but all it takes is $5 to renew. We’ve set an urgent goal to raise $20,000 before tonight’s midnight deadline. [link removed] RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP FOR $5 >> [link removed] Musk’s attacks on the EPA come as he’s illegally frozen trillions of dollars in approved federal spending programs. The New York Timesis now reporting that “grants to help diversity, climate programs, and
environmental-justice efforts” are set for permanent cuts. The DOGE freeze is having far-reaching impacts in communities across the
country.In Jackson, Mississippi, a storm shelter renovation project that would protect
low-income residents from hurricanes and extreme heat is on hold. In Ovando,
Montana, efforts to guard forests against severe drought and damaging wildfires
have been halted. Not even our schools are safe.In St. Louis, Missouri, the Ritenour School District can no longer take delivery
of electric school buses. Despite two court orders telling the Trump
administration to end the freeze, the Ritenour School District still can’t
access their funding and have been left scrambling to buy cheaper,
heavy-polluting buses instead of hiring teachers. Meanwhile, as federal grantees like these wait in limbo around the country,
Musk’s companies have been awarded tens of millions of dollars in new federal
contracts.  Friend, we need your help to STOPElon Musk’s illegal attacks on the EPA and other key agencies. Public pressure
has put the Trump administration on the back foot before. Our collective voices
hold power. Holding Elon Musk accountable will take ALL of us pitching in.
