The Trump administration is putting fossil fuel industry profits over people and our planet, but the AG is fighting back.
It’s Earth Day, normally a time to celebrate our environment and all we’ve done to preserve and protect it for future generations. But this year is different.
Donald Trump and his administration are taking a chainsaw to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), federal research funding, and regulations that keep our environment clean and safe.
In just the first 100 days of his second term, Trump has:
- Once again pulled us out of the Paris Climate Agreement;
- Rolled back critical environmental protections and set energy regulations to expire in 5 years;
- Issued an order to block states from enforcing their own laws to combat climate change
- Banned over 250 words from federal websites and materials, including clean energy, climate crisis, climate science, pollution, science-based, social justice, and vulnerable populations;
- Attempted to cut $14 billion in clean energy grants and defunded federal climate science and weather tracking;
- Declared a “national energy emergency” to boost fossil fuel production and demanded a return to coal, the most carbon-intensive fuel;
- Began dismantling the EPA, including terminating more than 200 federal workers focused on environmental justice.
He’s also planning to cancel research grants meant to protect children from toxic chemicals like PFAs, and is reportedly going to try rescinding the tax-exempt status of non-profit environmental organizations.
Clean air and water, and a livable planet protected from the worst impacts of climate change should not be a partisan issue. But Trump’s administration and the modern Republican Party are more concerned about prioritizing the profits of Big Oil, Gas, and Coal — some of their largest campaign donors — over the well-being of people and our planet.
As our Attorney General, Rob has always supported climate action and environmental protections. He’s taken on the fossil fuel industry in court and supported bold action to reduce vehicle emissions and other greenhouse gases — and he’s keeping up the fight to protect California from Trump’s environmental roll-backs.
But he can't do this alone. We need grassroots support to keep Rob in office working to ensure California remains at the forefront of environmental protection and action on climate.
This Earth Day, will you stand with Rob by chipping in $5 or more?
