The health impacts of climate change demand immediate action. But incredibly, the U.S. House of Representatives just passed a bill that slashes funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and blocks the EPA’s limits on carbon and methane pollution. The bill also weakened and delayed other clean air protections.
I call on Congress to fully fund EPA and to reject attempts to block climate change and air pollution protections. Please join me to make sure Congress feels the heat.
