Earthjustice is hard at work defending the environmental progress that the Trump administration has been attempting to undo.

Here are 5 things we did last week to hold the federal government accountable to the law:

** Sued the Trump administration for an unlawful offshore drilling order
Our lawsuit challenges President Trump’s illegal attempt to sell our oceans to the oil and gas industry.
“We defeated Trump the first time he tried to roll back protections and sacrifice more of our waters to the oil industry. We’re bringing this abuse of the law to the courts again.”
– Steve Mashuda, Managing Attorney, Oceans Program

** Sued Trump’s USDA over climate censorship
The U.S. Department of Agriculture illegally removed whole sections of its website that focused on climate. Farmers rely on this information to adapt their practices and access funding in the face of climate change. We’re suing to protect their access to the vital information they need to grow our food.
“You can purge a website of the words ‘climate change,’ but that doesn’t mean climate change goes away.”
– Peter Lehner, Managing Attorney, Sustainable Food & Farming Program

** Organized supporters to contact their members of Congress to defend our federal agencies
This administration fired nonpartisan public servants with deep scientific knowledge and ousted staff who provide impartial expertise to ensure policies are rooted in equity and science.
“These workers ensure we have clean water to drink and electricity to power our homes and drive cities’ economic growth through infrastructure projects and job creation. These firings will cause widespread, tangible harm across the country and must be stopped.”
– Raúl García, Vice President of Policy & Legislation

** Joined a lawsuit to defend the Biden administration’s decision to end new coal leasing on public lands in Wyoming and Eastern Montana
“We cannot meet 21st century energy needs on a 19th century fuel source.”
– Jenny Harbine, Managing Attorney, Northern Rockies Office

** Secured a victory for grizzly bears in Montana
“The focus now shifts to what the agencies will do to limit the impacts of roadbuilding on grizzly bears and bull trout.”
– Benjamin Scrimshaw, Senior Associate Attorney, Northern Rockies Office
