Tell Congress to Strengthen the Clean Air Act Now!

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court has handed down yet another shocking decision in a string of recent dangerous and devastating decisions — backing coal companies in the midst of a global climate crisis. The ruling today in West Virginia v. the Environmental Protection Agency will limit the ability of the EPA to regulate carbon emissions, restrict the development and enforcement of pollution standards, and severely hamper the effort to fight climate change.

Congress must act immediately to reverse this decision before air and carbon pollution INCREASE.

It’s up to Congress to take critical action: Strengthen the Clean Air Act with explicit inclusion of greenhouse gasses TODAY.

Today’s Supreme Court decision was a disastrous overreach, preventing administrative agencies like the EPA from developing and implementing nationwide regulations. This ruling essentially eliminates the government’s ability to enact climate regulation to protect our air and water and much more. Not only does this decision impact the EPA and the health of every American directly, it threatens to undermine the regulatory enforcement of all government agencies, which would distort the balance of power between the three branches of the U.S. government.

At this point, for those in positions of high power to deny the urgency and the stakes of the climate crisis is to condemn everyone alive today and generations to come to life in a sick and impoverished world.

Deadly heat waves, droughts, floods, hurricanes and megafires are already killing people and destroying communities across the country. This is just the beginning of a rapidly approaching planetary scale catastrophe that will cause unfathomable suffering. Yet the Court has sided with the disastrous fossil fuel industry over the ability of our government to regulate deadly pollutants. It is literally an act of violence against the millions of people who will suffer because of it.

Congress must act immediately to strengthen the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts to protect millions of Americans in every state from lethal levels of pollution and climate disasters. We have no time left to waste — we need Congress to move swiftly to protect American health and reject this dangerous Court precedent.
