The Trump administration’s actions, combined with the OBBBA, will force almost 400 fossil fuel power plants to operate more frequently and emit more cancer-causing pollution. #CAPEnergyPolicy #CenterforAmericanProgress #environmentalhealth #obbbakills

The Trump administration is prioritizing corporate polluters over the health of Americans. Promises for polluter-friendly policies in exchange for campaign contributions are now yielding actions to gut environmental safeguards and health research.

President Trump and RFK Jr. promised to β€œMake America Healthy Again,” but instead they have gutted protections from cancer-causing pollution and slashed cancer research and treatment, threatening the health of Americans. #CAPEnergyPolicy #CenterforAmericanProgress

The Trump Administration’s Attack on Environmental Protections Will Increase Cancer-Causing Pollution The Trump administration’s plan to torpedo air pollution limits and cancer prevention programs while ripping away health care and cancer treatment and canceling clean energy investments will increase ...

The backs of a large crowd of people gathered at a rally in front of Michigan Medicine Hospital

Real big turnout at the Rally for Gender Affirming Care in front of #MichiganMedicine. It was hard to hear the speakers because so many cars leaving the MM hospital were honking in support.
