Trump and Musk don’t care about protecting people like you and me from toxic PFAS forever chemicals. They don’t care about getting lead out of our drinking water, or preventing threats to endangered species like the monarch butterfly. And they definitely don’t care about creating a more livable future for generations to come. Instead, the Musk-Trump administration is threatening the EPA with massive cuts to staff and funding — threatening the critical clean water and environmental programs that communities rely on each year to fix broken drinking water systems, stop sewage spills, and clean up contaminated sites. The administration even moved to completely eliminate the EPA’s research and development arm. This is a dangerous development, making it much more difficult to study, let alone regulate, dangerous new contaminants like PFAS forever chemicals and microplastics. This Earth Day, we’re fighting back to protect the EPA and the bedrock environmental laws that allow us to work toward the livable future we all deserve. We’re protesting in the streets, litigating in the courts, and calling our members of Congress to make our demands heard. But we can’t keep this fight going without your support. In honor of Earth Day tomorrow, we’re launching a special matching gift offer! Make your Earth Day gift to Food & Water Watch, and it will be MATCHED to have double the impact to fight for the planet.
