The Trump administration and Congress are working overtime to roll back public health rules and standards.
All of us suffer when health-protective laws and regulations such as the Clean Air Act are weakened, delayed or blocked. And children, the elderly, low-income communities, communities of color, and people with chronic diseases suffer most.
Our government should be ensuring that federal agencies enforce laws that protect our water, air quality and public health—not curb the power of these agencies to carry out their missions.
Clean air, clean water and clean energy regulations are soundly supported by the majority of people in the U.S. They know that their health relies on these critical environmental protections.
Now more than ever we must take strong action to protect our health and safety.
