Friend,

In June, President Biden said "I will do everything in my power to clean our air and [...] protect our people's health."

Cars and trucks are the biggest source of greenhouse gas pollution in the U.S., impacting both our health and our climate. But despite Biden's promise, EPA still needs to accelerate on strong vehicle emission standards.

If EPA doesn't speed up these rules, they may not take effect before the end of Biden's first term, and we may not reach Biden's climate goals.

We can't miss this chance to save lives: Sign our petition to EPA Administrator Regan demanding they act NOW to reduce dangerous transportation emissions!

SIGN ON

Here's what's at stake:

EPA can lower pollution for cars made between 2027-2030—but they must act now to make sure the new rule is effective.
EPA proposed a rule to reduce pollution from heavy-duty trucks by 60% by 2045—but seven months later, they still haven't finalized it.
Earlier this year, California submitted a waiver to EPA asking permission to regulate truck pollution even further, inspiring five other states to follow suit. But EPA has yet to approve this life-saving request.

Through it all, communities of color continue to suffer the worst effects of transportation pollution. Disproportionate rates of asthma, lung cancer, and heart disease make it clear: This is an urgent environmental justice issue.

Join us in telling EPA Administrator Regan to accelerate the pace of clean car and truck standards to protect our communities now!

Onward,
