Breaking news, John:
Trump’s EPA just announced plans to roll back nearly every major climate regulation on the books.1 This is a direct threat to our planet, and we need to act fast.
John, this is a dangerous decision for our planet and people — and we must make sure Trump’s EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin, knows it.
The Trump administration is calling the plan the “Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative,”2 but we know that’s a lie. This plan doesn’t serve the American public — it only serves the interests of Big Oil, the wealthy elite, and the ultra-rich who are working to dismantle decades of hard-won climate protections.
If Trump and his billionaire backers get their way, the rest of us will be left with dirtier water to drink, dirtier air to breathe, and a hotter and more dangerous planet for our children. And make no mistake, those most impacted will be the frontline communities who have already been hit hardest by the climate crisis.
Why are they doing this? So Big Oil can maintain its dominance and the wealthy elite can save a buck by skipping past regulations meant to keep us and our planet safe.
But, John, the reality is: Trump can’t wipe away all of our climate progress with a wave of his hand. His EPA still has to follow a long regulatory process to advance his plans — and we’ll be there every step of the way, fighting to protect our planet’s future.
Thank you for standing with us.
