Urgent: Federal Environmental Protections Under Threat—Take Action Now

The Trump administration is moving to dismantle crucial environmental safeguards, putting our land, water, wildlife, and climate at serious risk. A newly proposed rule would remove key environmental review requirements, clearing the way for unchecked drilling, mining, and logging with little to no oversight.

This rollback is part of a broader effort to eliminate government protections, silence public input, and push through destructive projects without proper review.

What’s at Stake?

• Environmental Oversight Gutted – For decades, federal regulations have required government agencies to carefully evaluate the environmental impact of major projects before granting approval. Removing these regulations opens the door to rushed approvals with minimal consideration of long-term damage.

• Drilling and Logging Fast-Tracked – The administration has declared an “energy emergency” to force through fossil fuel projects without the usual environmental protections. It has also issued executive orders to expand logging in national forests, threatening endangered species and fragile ecosystems.

• Public Voices Silenced – Federal environmental law ensures that communities have a say in decisions that affect their environment and health. Without these protections, government agencies could shut out public input, making it easier for corporations to push through projects that pollute water, destroy forests, and harm public health.

Why This Matters

This is a blatant attempt to sell out our environment to corporate interests. Without strong environmental oversight, we face:

• Unregulated fossil fuel expansion and increased carbon emissions

• Rampant deforestation with no protections for fragile ecosystems

• Water and air pollution that endangers public health

• Irreversible climate damage that will impact future generations
