Friend — Trump’s EPA just announced plans to gut a key part of the Clean Water Act, limiting the authority of states and Tribal nations to protect their water sources.
|
|
|
The proposed limits on state and Tribal powers could pave the way for the new construction of coal export terminals, toxic mines, oil and gas pipelines, and other projects that cause harmful pollution.
|
|
|
To put it plainly: Trump’s plan would make our waters dirtier and families sicker.
|

Poll after poll shows that people reject Trump’s attacks on the environment when they learn about them. But the truth is, the kind of public outcry we need to force Trump to reverse course needs to be massive, and too many people still don’t know about this threat to our water.
