| Dear Friend, |
| As the government re-opened this month, the Trump administration has prioritized weakening bedrock environmental protections and expanding oil and gas offshore drilling in our public waters. |
| The Trump administration’s latest attack was on the Endangered Species Act, attempting to weaken and limit the law’s effectiveness. In addition, Trump’s EPA is proposing a rule that would end federal protections for many wetlands and streams in the U.S., jeopardizing critical habitats and clean drinking water for millions of Americans. |
| As if dismantling bedrock environmental protections wasn’t enough, President Trump also unveiled a dangerous new federal offshore drilling plan. The plan aims to dramatically expand oil and gas sales in the United States by auctioning off 1.27 billion acres of our public waters. It would force offshore drilling where it has never happened, or where oil sales have not been held in decades, like the Californian coast and virtually all of Alaska’s highly sensitive waters. This plan threatens to impose offshore drilling on states, cities, and communities that do not want it and depend on clean oceans for everything from fishing to tourism and recreation. |
| Trump’s polluter agenda may threaten our environment, but that’s why we must voice our opposition to these dangerous policies. As Earthjustice fights in court and on the Hill to preserve our landscape from pollution, protect biodiversity, and fight for a zero-emissions future, we need you in our corner. Your advocacy in these fights will help Earthjustice make our case in court. |
| Take action now and tell the government to side with the American people over billionaires and polluting industries. Climate progress won’t happen without advocates like you. |
