Dear friend,

Earthjustice just sued the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for failing to respond to a petition to ban organophosphates — nerve-agent pesticides used on fruits, vegetables, and field crops.

The EPA recognized a decade ago that organophosphates can impair children’s learning and behaviors, but the government keeps dragging its feet. Our children deserve long-overdue EPA action so they don’t suffer preventable harm.

This lawsuit is our second of the week, following our class action lawsuit against unlawful grant terminations (more details in the email below).

The pace of our lawsuits against the Trump administration is heating up, so I wanted to reach out and ask you to consider becoming an Earthjustice donor.

Because thousands of donors people just like you have joined our fight, we have scored real victories and took on thousands of cases to protect our planet.

As the scale of attacks against our climate, our communities, and the rule of law increases, so does our need for your support. If you join us with a donation by June 30, your gift will be matched $2:$1 — tripling your impact.

June 30 is our fiscal year deadline — we’ve mentioned this before, but what we raise now affects the attorneys we can hire, the lawsuits we can file, and the scope of our work in the year ahead. Thank you for your generosity to Earthjustice.

Dear Friend,

Today, Earthjustice filed our first ever class action lawsuit: We’re suing the Trump administration for illegally terminating grant programs designed to improve America’s health and wellbeing.

The grants were part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Environmental and Climate Justice Program. The decision to terminate these programs not only fails to address current public health harms, it also leaves communities without resources to respond to environmental disasters. We are suing to reinstate these grants.

Earthjustice goes to court to defend everyone’s right to clean air and water, no matter where they live, their race, income, or who they voted for.
As our fiscal year ends on June 30, we’re asking for your support to fight this and many other cases ahead. Your gift today will have an even larger impact and be matched $2:$1. Please help us win fights like this one.

These grants would have made real, material improvements in people’s lives — especially those in frontline communities hardest hit by pollution and environmental disaster.

Our lawsuit aims to restore grants that:

Increased preparedness for natural disasters
Supported workforce development
Monitored air quality
Mitigated stormwater and flood damage
Combated high energy costs
Empowered communities to participate in decisions that impact their health and environment

These grants funded projects in all 50 states, with benefits for communities across the country. This is how government should work — building community resilience and bettering peoples’ lives.

Instead, the Trump administration has unlawfully terminated congressionally approved funds intended for nonprofits, Tribes, local governments and schools.

President Trump cannot ignore the rule of law and steal the power of the purse from Congress. Along with our partners, we will challenge these illegal decisions and fight for reduced pollution and increased climate resilience — for everyone.

Donate by June 30 and our $2:$1 match will triple your impact.

Thank you for your partnership.

Sincerely,
The Team at Earthjustice
