Tell the Trump administration to STOP poisoning our communities with mercury and other hazardous pollutants

 The Trump EPA is once again putting polluters ahead of our families’ health by
attempting to weaken the Clean Air Act. Lower standards for power plants would
increase rates of dangerous pollutants like mercury, arsenic, and other heavy
metals.

 

Our communities’ health is at stake: show the Trump EPA how unpopular this
attempt is. Please take action right now — it only takes a moment to help us reach our 5,000 signature goal >> [link removed] TAKE ACTION [link removed] Friend, The Trump EPA is once again putting polluters ahead of the health of our
families by attempting to weaken Clean Air Act standards for power plants, also
known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Rule. We know how dangerous this is. Increased rates of mercury, arsenic, and other heavy metals from fossil
fuel-fired power plants lead to increased rates of asthma, cancer,
cardiovascular disease, lung disease, brain damage, and developmental delays in
children. There is a comment period open now, but it’s going to close soon. We need to
show Trump and his EPA how unpopular this is with the public. Sign the petition and tell the Trump administration to STOP poisoning our communities with mercury and other hazardous pollutants! [link removed] Since the MATS rule was first adopted in 2012, mercury emissions from power plants have decreased 90%, cleaning up our air and
improving the health of our communities.The 2024 MATS rule aimed to build on the initial rule’s success and further
reduce pollution from mercury and other toxic chemicals. Weakening these critical clean air safeguards and pollution reduction measures
would be extremely detrimental to public health. Pollutants like mercury, arsenic, and other heavy metalslead to increased cases of asthma and cancer, as well as brain damage and
developmental issues for children, both for frontline communities and for people
living hundreds of miles from these facilities. We are ALL at risk. Trump’s EPA is deliberately ignoring science and putting our lives in danger —
just to further enrich polluters. This is despicable, and we CANNOT let them get
away with it. The comment period is closing in a matter of days, and we need to rally all our
supporters before the deadline. Sign your name and urge the EPA NOT to weaken the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule. [link removed] Thank you for all you do, Friend. Lizzy Duncan
