You, as an EDF supporter, have a reputation at the Environmental Protection Agency — for your steadfast conviction in standing up for the earth.
And it’s inspiring. Because unlike the Trump Administration, the people who work inside the EPA aren't there for political ambitions. They're not there to dismantle the agency from the inside. They are there because they wanted to dedicate their careers to protecting our health and safety. And at this moment, they’re watching the wellbeing of the American people be used as a political pawn.
But they’re not in this fight alone. Thank EPA employees today, and tell them that you will continue to stand up for clean air, safe water, and climate action — no matter what.
EPA employees know that when our bedrock protections for clean air and safe water are under attack, EDF members will, without fail, rise up and speak out against injustice. Whether it be flooding the EPA with hundreds of thousands of emails, inundating their office with phone calls, or writing letters to the editors of their local newspapers —
EDF supporters like you consistently and boldly fight back against assaults on our planet and public health.
Recently, an EPA staffer — who we won't name, for their protection — approached an EDF staffer at an event and confessed that morale inside the agency is terrible, but that news and alerts from EDF are giving workers at the agency a lifeline.
As EPA employees watch the protections they spent decades of their careers building be unraveled, they are looking to you — an EDF supporter — for rays of hope. So they can carry on and continue to do good work.
Take a moment to thank the unsung heroes working hard, in every political climate, to protect us, our families, and our communities — and to say that you’re behind them every step of the way.
Thank you for standing with us,
Heather Shelby
Action Network Manager
