John, climate progress happens when people speak up, ask tough questions and advocate for bold solutions. But now our right to be heard is in jeopardy. In July the Trump EPA released a proposal to eliminate public notice and comment requirements from air pollution permit proceedings.
This would effectively silence communities, removing their voice from the decision-making process surrounding the construction of things like new AI data centers, petrochemical facilities and fossil-fuel plants.
We stand determined, not deterred. And this month we’re focused on protecting your voice and showing what’s possible when members like you push for progress at the community level. Read on to see our inpact in action.

Submit a public comment and defend your right to be heard.
