The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) keeps falling further and further behind in cutting pollution from dirty power plants nationwide. The result of these regulatory delays is that people get sick – especially people in poor communities of color – and the planet keeps warming.
This is unacceptable. EPA has the authority and the moral responsibility to issue at least EIGHT different rules that will clean up our air and protect our health from coal and gas plants.
EPA is an essential player in establishing rules and definitions that govern our power sector and influence state and local environmental policies. EPA’s failure to meet its own self imposed deadlines means the President will not fulfill his campaign promises and could leave recent climate progress vulnerable to a future hostile Administration. We’ve seen this before: the Trump Administration reversed Obama Administration rules because rules were released late.
This rally is sponsored by CCAN, Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, Center for Biological Diversity, Environmental Integrity Project, Food & Water Watch, Green New Deal for DC, Hip Hop Caucus, Interfaith Power & Light, Labor Network for Sustainability, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and 350 Montgomery County. Please show up – it makes a difference.
