URGENT: Trump to push TWO new executive orders to gut the Clean Power Plan and Clean Water Rule »
This is not a drill: Donald Trump is expected to announce TWO new executive orders targeting critical climate and water protections.
— we just got word that Donald Trump could sign two new executive orders as soon as this week to gut President Obama’s Clean Power Plan and Clean Water Rule. This is really, really bad.
The Clean Power Plan is our nation’s biggest step ever to fight climate change and transition to a clean energy economy.
The Clean Water Rule clarifies pollution protections for our drinking water. Without it, water for 1 in 3 people in this country is at risk.
These executive orders make it crystal clear that Donald Trump is putting the interests of Big Polluters over the air we breathe and water we drink.
We have a long fight ahead of us. These orders are just the start of the process to fully cripple these standards, which could take months, or years. We must prepare for the battles ahead, but resources are seriously low and we need your help.
Every single person has a right to clean air and clean water. Don’t let Trump destroy our planet without a fight.
With notorious fossil fuel shill Scott Pruitt now officially at the helm of the EPA, it’s hard to see how this news could get any worse. But we must remember, the public is on our side!
When the EPA first proposed the Clean Power Plan, LCV supporters sent in 420,000 comments to the EPA supporting the plan. And we joined over 800,000 people in calling for drinking water protections under the Clean Water Rule. We know that our planet cannot afford any delays in fighting climate change, and that every single person, regardless of race, age, or income, deserves access to clean, safe water.
These executive orders are just the start of sweeping attacks designed to drastically diminish the EPA and the work they can do to protect our health and the environment. It is up to us to be the resistance — it is up to us to secure a better planet for future generations.
We will keep fighting Trump, his cabinet, and extreme Republicans in Congress who try to roll back vital environmental protections every single day, but we can only do it with your help.
Thank you,
