Petition: These Proposed EPA Cuts Mean Dirtier Air, Dirtier Water, and Sicker Families

The Trump administration has proposed sweeping cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency and federal science programs — cuts that, if enacted, would eliminate key programs protecting the country’s air, water, and health, including work on Climate change and Environmental justice. Advocates warn these aren’t just numbers on a page: fewer Pollution inspectors, fewer scientists, less cleanup of toxic waste, and weaker enforcement of laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. The likely result is more contaminated water, dirtier air, and more hazardous waste left in communities — with children, older adults, and already-overburdened neighborhoods hit hardest. Experts warn the cuts would leave families “sicker, not safer.” Please sign the petition urging Congress to reject them.
