We can't let Trump destroy our clean air, clean water, and climate without fighting back.

Yesterday, Trump launched the largest assault on climate and environment protections in U.S. history.1
These environmental and public health protections are critical to protecting the people and places we love. We can't let them destroy our clean air, clean water, and climate safeguards
without fighting back.
Will you help us make sure as many people as possible know about this? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c47ba73f41d72225d95d796ad7b9a336a026a8c10c56aed4d33b1505d709697bf07972e3992dde490733d860

💥 What happened? (the quick version): Trump's EPA announced it would repeal 31 cornerstone environmental protections. These regulations keep pollution out of our air and water, fight
climate change, and protect precious ecosystems. If this decision stands, it will cause thousands of Americans to die each year and speed up disastrous climate change.
If you have a moment, read on to learn why these actions are so devastating and what we can do about it.
🤷🏻♀️ Why is this happening?
Corporate polluters and billionaires paid big money to get Trump elected. Now, they're getting what they paid for. These actions are betraying the American people, offering up our climate,
health, and future to the highest bidder.
🚨 What is at stake?
Trump is trying to destroy the progress of the past four years, taking us back to smoggier skies and mercury-polluted water, all while abandoning EPA’s mission to protect public health
and environment.
Among the dangerous rollbacks is the plan to eliminate the landmark "endangerment finding," which determined that greenhouse gases heating up the planet threaten public health and welfare.
This comes from a 2007 Supreme Court decision on a case brought by Sierra Club, partner environmental organizations, a dozen states, and cities, establishing the EPA's obligation to
limit climate pollution.
Yes, you read that right -- As climate-fueled wildfires and hurricanes devastate more and more of our communities, Trump is declaring that climate change is not a danger.
The science is clear: if we don't safeguard our communities from climate pollution, the effects will only get worse. Many thousands of people will die, ecosystems will be destroyed,
and the very future of life on this planet will be at risk.
🫵 What can we do?
This announcement was only the beginning of their plan to roll back these life-saving protections. Nothing has been eliminated, yet.
These environmental and public health policies are wildly popular with the American people across party lines. Just months after the inauguration, the Trump Administration continues
to prove that it never cared about the American people. With each disastrous development, we are turning the tide of public opinion against Trump's dangerous and illegal actions. We
must keep it up. Will you share this update with your friends and family? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c47ba73f41d722252d891aba152e710df9cd96e6afc8ad69a6745546e3d3fcf555d5e140758643bd5aa1

The Sierra Club sued Trump hundreds of times in his first administration, and we’re ready to fight back again now. We must do everything we can to defend our communities, climate action,
and the precious ecosystems that all living things rely on. Science and the law are on our side, but there's a long road ahead. Will you donate to support our Environmental Law Program?
