National Field Manager Maria Finnegan shares in the Keene Sentinel that, despite raising her son in the same state she grew up in, their childhoods in New Hampshire are vastly different because of climate change. Maria explains that the December floods and dangerous summer heat domes pose environmental, health, economic, agricultural, and cultural harms. This week, Maria is testifying before EPA alongside dozens of other Moms, asking the agency not to repeal two critical climate protections—the Endangerment Finding (the legal foundation for EPA’s limits on climate pollution) and clean vehicle standards.
Join Moms in telling EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin that cutting climate pollution is essential for our families’ health.
