Trump's EPA thinks it can hide the truth from the American
people, but we're not going to let them get away with
it.We've just filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court for
the District of Columbia for documents related to the "red
team/blue team" debate exercise that former Administrator Pruitt
had planned in order to cast doubt on scientific consensus about
climate change.
Donate to our Summer Match today and your gift to fund lawsuits like
this one against the Trump administration will be matched $1-for-$1.

Back in 2017, Administrator Pruitt talked publicly about his plan to
set up a debate between a team assigned to refute established climate
science and a team to defend it.
We suspected Pruitt would use the farcical debate to undermine the
scientific integrity of EPA climate regulations, so we submitted a
Freedom of Information Act request for documents related to the
planned event.
But two full years later, EPA still hasn't released information
the American people have a right to see.
This isn't the first time EDF has been forced to go to court
because Trump's EPA flouted their legal obligation under FOIA.
* In October 2017, we sued after the administration failed to
respond to three FOIA requests - including one pertaining
to interference with scientific research and communications at
EPA.
* In August 2018, we sued when EPA failed to release documents
related to a proposed rule that would bar EPA from using key
public health studies when making decisions about vital
protections for human health and the environment.
By illegally refusing our FOIA requests for documentation about the
actions they are taking, the Trump administration is depriving the
public of information that could be used to hold EPA accountable for
its reckless decisions.
For a short time, every $1 you give to hold Trump's EPA
accountable to the law will unlock another $1 in matching funds and
put us $1 closer to our $500,000 goal - worth $1 million after
the match.
Please make your contribution to our Summer Match today and claim your
matching gift before the offer expires.

P.S. Since President Trump took office, we've had to hire more legal
staff to keep up with all of his administration's illegal
maneuvers. Their greatest hope is to overwhelm us with sheer volume,
and deplete our resources so that we'll stop slowing them down.
The best way for you to make sure that doesn't happen is to
start a new monthly gift during our Summer Match. Your first 12 gifts
will be matched $1-for-$1, doubling the value of your support for an
entire year of drawn-out legal battles through our slow-moving court
system.
