Hi,

On July 29, 2025,  Administrator Lee Zeldin announced that he plans to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) chief legal tool for fighting pollution and mitigating climate change, known as the Endangerment Finding. Established in 2009, it granted the Agency the authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. 

What's at stake: Without this protection, polluters get a free pass. The EPA's own data shows the Clean Air Act prevents over 230,000 premature deaths annually.¹ Revoking the Endangerment Finding threatens to reverse this life-saving progress, especially harming our children.

We don't have to choose: America can have both clean air and economic growth. In 2024, nearly 90% of new U.S. power came from renewables,² and clean energy jobs grew twice as fast as the rest of the economy.³

History matters: The EPA was created by Republican President Nixon in 1970, just months after 20 million Americans marched on the first Earth Day demanding clean air and water. That bipartisan commitment is now under attack.

Take Action Now:

• Congress: Defend the Endangerment Finding
• Administrator Zeldin: Reverse This Dangerous Course
• President Trump: Direct EPA to Protect Public Health

Our children deserve better. Act today.
