President Donald Trump just wrapped up a major speech in which he claimed his administration is leading the world on environmental and climate matters. He’s routinely repeated lies about how under his tenure we have the cleanest air and water in the entire world.

Fact check: We don’t. We’re not even in the top thirty relative to other countries in terms of water and air quality and it’s actively getting worse after years of improvement since he’s taken office.

Trump isn’t going to stop lying and his administration isn’t going to stop rolling back crucial environmental regulations like the ones put in place after the BP oil spill.

That’s why it’s up to us to fight back: If you’re with me in the fights ahead to protect our oceans, our drinking water, our air, and our public lands then I need you to rush in a donation today.

Since taking office, Trump is responsible for rolling back more than 80 environmental regulations. He dismantled President Obama’s Clean Power Plan, withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, is terminating scientific advisory committees, and is lining the Environmental Protection Agency with fossil fuel lobbyists and industry insiders.

The best way to put a stop to Trump and his attacks on our environment is to get involved.

We need to raise our voices, continue signing petitions, reject the falsehoods his administration presents as truth, and invest in organizing locally ahead of 2020.
