Stop the Trump admin from rolling back protections

Earlier this month, I traveled to Freeport, Louisiana where local community members gathered to share a homemade meal and remember the third anniversary of an explosion at Freeport LNG.
Freeport LNG is a methane gas export terminal, just a few hundred feet away from a popular picnic area and beach.
The explosion rocked the community -- sending workers and nearby residents to the hospital and terrifying the surrounding residents.
While the government gave Freeport LNG $1.1 billion in tax breaks, the community has continued to suffer.
By all accounts, this could have been a much worse disaster, and it never should have happened at all. But the community has continued fighting to have more transparency of the risks
of living near LNG terminals and ensure a similar disaster never happens again.
John, will you join me to demand strong health and safety standards that could protect communities like Freeport? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=9b1f054b8d27bba504c18295dd1bae68f48a5342341c6

Act before the July 7 deadline <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=9b1f054b8d27bba508e94b155562a78a8b2216d81a90815e104e94ca8d60e2aa290cf2d18506cc36445c01698083bbc63e239fc05d6f75ac2d2fd85df789de61

Today, residents of Freeport and other communities near oil and gas infrastructure still don't have answers. They fear another larger explosion could take place, and are left in the
dark with no publicly available safety plan, map of evacuation zones, or way to know how many miles of residential neighborhoods are at risk.
The federal agency tasked with preventing these disasters -- the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) -- is starting the process of rewriting the rules for
LNG safety. But under the Trump Administration's direction, they're trying to roll back protections to cut costs instead of strengthening them to protect communities.
The public comment period is open until July 7. If enough of us act, we can demand better! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=9b1f054b8d27bba5cd585207ef4a7df291d5910d4c95305a5fdda70dec6bd3783c19

At the anniversary event in Freeport, multiple organizations and local leaders gathered, served homemade gumbo and bbq and shared personal stories of why it is so important to remember
this explosion and urge the agency to prioritize their and other frontline lives over the profit of polluting oil and gas corporations.
We are organizing and we need you to join us. This is the first public rulemaking on LNG safety and it's critical we speak up.
We can't continue to sacrifice frontline families for oil and gas profits. Too many lives have already been lost, and too many people are already at risk to go backwards.
Submit a comment now and demand transparency, community safety, and worker protections. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=9b1f054b8d27bba578388a816edf5cd08e10e95d11a6d920c1230f66d7f2a2b3c9cba71
