Defend EPA's mission, uphold environmental justice and oversight

The Environmental Protection Agency's core mission to protect human health and the environment is being actively undermined by the new administration. Over 450 staffers have already departed or been removed, key programs like Environmental Justice have been dismantled, and efforts to address climate change have been deprioritized in favor of siding with polluters. This comes at a time when climate change is an increasingly urgent crisis impacting the health and wellbeing of all people. Congress must exercise its oversight authority to ensure the EPA maintains its vital mission. Intimidating staff, eliminating essential functions, and abandoning environmental justice is reckless and endangers public health and the environment. I urge you to call for immediate oversight hearings and take concrete steps to push back against the administration's destructive actions toward the EPA. Defending this critical agency is an urgent matter of public welfare.
