The climate crisis is here. As parents, we know this is an issue we cannot ignore. And neither can those who are seeking the highest office in the land.
That’s why in the upcoming presidential debate on September 29, we have a simple question: What will each candidate do to cut the carbon and methane emissions that are burning us up? Join moms to demand that moderators in each debate address this critical issue.
The Trump EPA has failed to strengthen standards for ground level ozone, or smog, that harms families across the country. Smog is a widespread and largely preventable form of air pollution that is a powerful lung irritant and asthma trigger.
Under the cover of COVID — a severe respiratory pandemic — the Trump EPA has not protected vulnerable families, instead they have made the situation worse by failing to curb dangerous pollution. Communities of color are more severely impacted by both the coronavirus and smog pollution. This latest failure is the EPA’s racist agenda at work.
Today and always, we must join together to fight for justice and equity. As a first step, pledge your commitment to fighting with us for environmental justice.
Right now, we are watching the living breath being taken from Black people, over and over again — in so many different ways. Communities of color are bearing the brunt of police brutality as well as the COVID crisis. And these same communities breathe significantly more air pollution than others. These are just a few examples of how our history of systemic racism have harmed Black people.
In honor of this Juneteenth, I am pledging to acknowledge this fact: We do not all breathe the same air. Until we do, we will not be able to live in a just, fair society.
Nancy Beck — a former chemical industry executive — has been nominated by Trump to lead the Consumer Product Safety Commission. During her time at the EPA, she was responsible for undermining chemical safety standards that protect children from harmful exposures.
Nancy Beck is the opposite of what our children need. This commission is meant to protect our families from the products we use our everyday lives, from children’s clothes and toys to baby cribs to cleaning products. Yet Nancy Beck has shown time and time again that she will work to protect polluting industry, not families.
In the midst of a global pandemic, Trump’s EPA Administrator — Andrew Wheeler — has feverishly ramped up his work to weaken regulations that protect us from air pollution.
Moms are outraged by EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler’s actions. They’re terrible under any circumstance. But now, they are indecent. They defy the norms of reasonable behavior.
The EPA's racist agenda must be stopped. Moms have had enough: These attacks are making our families sicker.
The Trump administration has finalized its dangerous rollback to America’s Clean Car Standards. This is the most damaging environmental rollback in American history — and our families will pay the price.
This indefensible affront to American families will increase air pollution in our communities, force drivers to spend more at the pump, and exacerbate climate change. No one wants dirtier air, sicker children, or more expensive gas bills.
Right now, we are facing an unprecedented public health crisis. Yet in an outrageous betrayal of our families, the EPA is working to fast-track an attack on life-saving science.
The EPA’s “censored science” proposal — which faces strong opposition from mainstream scientific organizations — would prevent relevant, peer-reviewed public health research from being considered when the agency is setting life-saving pollution standards.
Moms will not allow this administration to sneak an attack on science while the country is focused on a pandemic.
Right now, the Trump Environmental Protection Agency is ignoring its responsibility to protect our families from pollution. This time, they want to maintain the status quo for ethane cracker plants — industrial facilities that create the building blocks for plastics manufacturing.
With the rapid expansion of ethane cracker plants around the country, and the dangerous pollution that comes along with this industry, this is no time to slack off on pollution protections.
Moms won’t let them get away with this threat to our communities, our health, and our children.
Chrysler, Toyota, and GM have chosen the wrong side in the fight for clean car standards. They’ve recently added their support to the Trump administration’s plan to cripple states’ ability to pass their own rules to limit car emissions. This is a new front in the war for clean, safe cars.
Moms can’t let these companies get away with turning their backs on our children.
Send your message to automakers today urging them to withdraw their support for Trump’s plan.
We are facing a climate crisis. We need to act boldly and urgently to keep our children safe. It’s time for our leaders to set a goal: eliminate the pollution that is causing climate change. That means 100% clean energy, across the entire economy. It’s ambitious, but we can do it. And for our kids, we have to do it.
Tell your members of Congress: Keep us safe. Commit to 100% clean by 2050.
Trump’s EPA — under the leadership of acting head, Andrew Wheeler — has hit its lowest, most cynical level in its radical agenda to destroy protections against pollution. EPA has launched a process to sabotage and ultimately destroy our Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.
These are protections that keep a terrible poison from harming our babies’ brains. This is a terrifying development because of what it means for our health. It’s also terrifying because it shows that Trump’s EPA will stop at nothing to protect polluter profits. Please let Congress know that this is an outrage — EPA must not touch the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.
Climate change is here, and we are feeling its impacts today. Superstorms, extreme heat, flooding, wildfires, and more are harming communities across the country and beyond. The longer our leaders wait to take action, the worse it will get. Our children will be the generation that faces the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
As parents, it’s our responsibility to hold our leaders accountable and demand action. Send a message to your representatives today to make sure they do everything it takes to protect our kids.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s integrity has been compromised under the leadership of former coal lobbyist and EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. Yet our families rely on this agency to protect our families from pollution and keep us safe from climate change.
The Trump EPA is ignoring and attacking the scientific basis of crucial environmental policies. It has disbanded key scientific advisory groups, removed scientific information from its website, and favored industry-funded scientists to serve on key panels. This negligence puts our children’s health and future directly at risk. Moms disapprove.
Oil and gas giants - some of the world’s most profitable companies - are granted hundreds of millions of dollars in tax subsidies each year–while they continue to contribute to dangerous climate change. Millions of Americans struggle to make ends meet. But we are helping make dirty energy companies—and their lobbyists–very rich.
Tell the Senate that it’s time to end these tax breaks for wealthy and powerful oil, gas and coal companies.
With America’s departure from the historic Paris Climate Agreement, the responsibility for climate action now falls on others: States, businesses, universities, local leaders, and communities. States—and their governors—hold particular power in the fight against devastating climate change. Already, we have seen several states announce they will follow the targets set by the Agreement. However, we need more.
With the federal government surrendering its chance to lead on climate action, our states must be as aggressive as possible in the effort to thwart global warming and protect the health of our children. The future of our families and our world depend upon it. Let your governor know that you demand climate action and you need them to take the lead.
We need serious action. Make sure your members of Congress are fighting to protect access to the Postal Service for all Americans.
It is safer to vote from home, by mail, during a pandemic. That’s all there is to it. But if the government cripples the post office, that option is gone. Moms have been waiting by the mailbox for school supplies, medicine, and products for our small businesses, all while speaking out and joining multiple groups to call for something serious to be done.
