Trump's EPA just gave fossil-fueled power plants a free pass on climate pollution. Now, they're trying to strip the government's authority to rein in climate pollution from power plants in the future. Speak up for climate protections today⬇️

earthjustice.org

Tell the EPA not to walk away from its responsibility on climate

For over a decade, the Endangerment Finding has allowed the EPA to begin tackling climate pollution. That progress is now at risk.
