We showed up in our blue shirts at @EPWCmte's hearing on the EPA's disastrous proposed budget with a clear message: Lee Zeldin makes us sick. From ignoring the science to leaving communities without key health protections, Zeldin is putting #PollutersFirst - at our expense.

This week, parts of the Northeast including PA, NJ, and NY experienced excessive flooding and severe weather. We hope everyone stays safe this summer as we've been seeing increased rainfall and dangerous weather across the US due to climate change.

The “Big, Brutal, Bill” is one of the most destructive environmental bills in American history, making devastating cuts to clean energy jobs, Medicaid, food assistance, and will raise energy costs. Take action against this bill and Trump’s climate attacks:
