  • Two Big Ugly Clean Air Rollbacks

    On June 11, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal to repeal two major environmental rules that limit toxic pollution from coal and gas power plants.

    These proposed rollbacks of pollution protections from power plant smokestacks and mercury are cruel and unpatriotic.

  • Unprecedented Rollback of Protections From 7 Most Toxic Chemicals

    On May 22, 2025, the House joined the Senate in voting to repeal protections against seven of the world’s most toxic air pollutants.

    This resolution will allow the nation’s most toxic polluters to permanently turn off their pollution controls and release into the air unlimited amounts of dangerous chemicals.

  • VIDEO: JULIANNE MOORE FOR MOMS CLEAN AIR FORCE

    “I remember when I was pregnant, my doctor told me not to eat tuna fish. It is contaminated with mercury. Mercury in food goes right to a baby’s brain. It damages the developing brains of fetuses…. When I was pregnant, I stopped eating tuna. But I never stopped to think about where all that poisonous mercury comes from. Mercury comes from air pollution.”
