Come January, we’ll have a new Congress, which will include people who do not deny the science and peril and enormous costs of our changing, chaotic climate—and who are champions of clean air, clean water, and protecting children’s health. EPA’s mission to protect human health—first!—and the environment has been thoroughly corrupted by our current EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin.
A new Congress must exercise oversight on this agency and its administrator. Because we know—regardless of the election—the Environmental Pollution Agency is not doing its job. Zeldin is failing to protect our children, and it is time for him to go.
Tell Congress: Hold Zeldin Accountable for Corrupting EPA’s Mission
We have a right to know exactly why clean air protections are being so rapidly rolled back. Why are the fossil fuel companies so powerful that they get free passes to pollute—and unleash lethal cancers in our communities? Why is this administration trying to undermine a jewel in the crown of American laws, the Clean Air Act?
We have a right to know why this administration’s leaders don’t care that so many of their actions, like suspending rules for diesel turbines, or forcing the opening of decrepit, polluting coal plants, are making our electricity bills skyrocket—and raising the costs of health care, home insurance, flood insurance, and rebuilding homes ravaged by the extreme weather caused by climate change.
Moms launched our campaign to hold Zeldin accountable for corrupting EPA’s mission nearly one year ago. More than 60,000 of you have joined us. We were also joined by major medical, health, and environmental groups. Thank you all!
Now, we’re looking forward to a Congress that is willing to hold Zeldin to account for his agency’s aggressive campaign to give polluters free reign over our country.
Month after month, the EPA head has relentlessly announced rollbacks of clean air and climate protections. Most recently, he’s gutted rules that limit fossil fuel power plant pollution and proposed a major rollback of historic 2024 methane protections. He hasn’t stopped since the midterm elections; he could care less what the American people actually want: Clean air. Clean water. A stable climate. Safety. And reasonable energy costs.
Zeldin’s aggressive campaign to put polluter interests over people’s health must come to an end. Join Moms in telling Congress Zeldin must go.
