Friends, we all know the very real threat that climate change promises to our community: harsher climates, shrinking coastlines, and more dangerous storms. But, what's worse is that we also know these risks will likely hurt marginalized and low-income communities most.

Already, indigenous people, racial minorities, and low-income populations are disproportionately exposed to unsafe air and water, resulting in higher rates of disease.

This is unacceptable, team, and there's so much more that Washington can and should do to help those impacted. But, the Trump Administration wants to cut these programs instead. Sign on if you agree that this national priority should be protected:

Trump's budget cuts critical programs like the EPA's environmental justice program and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which allows communities to have a voice on projects that would hurt their environmental health and wellbeing.



Add your name now: Tell Trump to make environmental justice a priority!



I've worked hard to get amendments passed to protect NEPA -- and I have consistently fought Trump's efforts to repeal the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Antiquities Act, the Clean Power Plan, the Paris Climate Agreement and more. I pledge to continue doing everything I can to keep Trump from cutting crucial environmental justice policies from the 2020 budget.




But, I need you with me in this fight,team. Right now, that means standing with me in this fight for environmental justice. Can I count on you to add your name today?



Thanks for standing with me on this one -- and standing up for justice!
