DEVELOPING — following an announcement that Trump’s EPA will eliminate the foundation of all of its rules to fight climate change, they are now ALSO moving to claw back $7 billion in funds set aside for solar projects in low-income communities and communities of color throughout the country.

The Trump administration just declared war on long-established climate science. We’re fighting back, and we need your support.

During one of the hottest summers humans have ever experienced on our planet, with communities still struggling to recover from recent hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is officially moving to end the landmark Endangerment Finding.

This is the EPA’s science-based determination that greenhouse gases are harmful to public health because they cause climate change, serving as a foundation for all federal rules limiting greenhouse gases like carbon and methane. If Zeldin succeeds, it will be one of the most far-reaching and dangerous actions of this presidency.

Now, the EPA has also announced it will rescind over $7 billion in funding for its Solar for All program, which provides access to cheap, affordable clean energy for low-income communities — all just to prop up dirty, polluting fossil fuels.

The environmental movement needs to respond, and we need to be LOUD. We’re launching an urgent campaign to raise $20,000 by the end of this month to mobilize a public outcry, expose the damage these decisions will do, and hold anti-environment extremists accountable. We need your help.

The Trump administration intends to use the repeal of the Endangerment Finding as grounds to ignore science and reverse the law to roll back climate protections, despite numerous court rulings saying they can’t and overwhelming scientific evidence about climate change’s devastating impact on people’s lives. Here’s what it could mean for your family, your health, and your future:

• More harmful pollution in the air we breathe. Asthma attacks, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses could rise, especially in communities near highways and power plants.
   
• Climate-heating emissions could skyrocket. Climate-fueled disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and extreme heat will become more powerful and more frequent.
   
• Polluters could do as they please. Oil, gas, and coal companies could be free to pump as much carbon and methane into the atmosphere as they please, with zero accountability.

We cannot allow polluters to write the rules, Friend. Please, renew today for just $5 to help us go to the mat defending the Endangerment Finding and everything it protects >>
