PSR is suing Trump's EPA for its illegal and reckless repeal of the Endangerment Finding for greenhouse gases.

This week the EPA announced its decision to neglect the health and safety of the American people through their rollback of the Endangerment Finding. Carbon emissions and climate change lead to excess illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths — all of which could be avoided through proper regulation of fossil fuels.

We will not sit idly by as this administration puts us all at risk through their attempt to dismantle this bedrock policy. PSR will be filing a lawsuit in the coming days and will see the EPA in court.

Donate at wpsr.org/donate to support our effort to uphold critical climate protections and hold government accountable for protecting public health.
