A weakened EPA risks disaster:

➡️ 350 experts idle due to “realignment”
➡️ Unremediated Superfund sites
➡️ Cancer-causing emissions ignored

Defunding harms prevention efforts. Political attacks are driving out career staff. This isn't efficiency; it's neglect. #SaveEPA

EPA plans to end emissions standards for new cars, citing consumer savings & regulatory relief. Yet, their analysis suggests costs may outweigh savings. Joseph Goffman, former EPA official, notes the agency is manipulating data to show savings. Read more: buff.ly/6bQ217J. #SaveEPA

EPA's scientists, attorneys, & engineers protect communities from toxic exposure but face risks from budget cuts & political interference. Supporting their mission & funding is crucial, as clean air & safe water depend on their efforts. We stand with EPA's career staff. #SaveEPA

Without the Endangerment Finding, Communities Will Suffer, and Polluters Will Win The Endangerment Finding is not just a policy document.

The Endangerment Finding is crucial for U.S. climate protections. Its proposed repeal removes EPA's power to regulate climate pollution, potentially increasing emissions that lead to asthma, heart attacks, and premature death. Read more: : buff.ly/D4cNp3j #SaveEPA

The House cuts would make EPA’s budget the lowest in 50 years (adjusted for inflation). We are confronting 21st-century threats with a 1970s budget. That’s not reform; it’s sabotage. #SaveEPA

The House has proposed slashing EPA funding by 23%. That means fewer toxic cleanups, fewer protections for drinking water, and zero funding for environmental justice. This isn't "lean" government; it's lethal. #SaveEPA

Youth are suing EPA for failing to protect their future.

EPA is consolidating key offices — shutting down its research branch, merging finance/admin functions, and reshuffling enforcement and Superfund teams — while offering widespread buyouts and early retirements. These cuts will weaken pollution oversight & environmental justice.
