Thank Your Senators for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

Thank Your Senators for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

On August 7, the largest US investment ever in fighting climate pollution—the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022—cleared the Senate.

From making clean energy and transportation more affordable for families to cleaning up legacy pollution to putting millions of people to work in high-wage, in-demand jobs—this bill is the most ambitious effort to cut climate pollution and address environmental justice that the US has ever seen. The bill must clear the House of Representatives; we are hearing that vote will be next week.

But for now, please take a moment to THANK YOUR SENATORS who voted to pass a historic investment in protecting our families and our homes.

Tell EPA: Protect Our Children From Harmful Oil and Gas Pollution

Tell EPA: Protect Our Children From Harmful Oil and Gas Pollution

With Congress unable to make progress on climate, it is time for EPA to step up and meet the urgency of this moment. We need meaningful limits on methane pollution from oil and gas operations now—there is no time to waste.

SPEAK OUT: Tell EPA to issue a strong supplemental rule to cut methane and air pollution from the oil and gas industry to protect our families’ health.

Tell Epa: Protect Our Communities from Plastics Incineration Pollution

Tell Epa: Protect Our Communities from Plastics Incineration Pollution

Over the last few years, plastics industry lobbyists have been promoting a decades-old incineration method as a new way to solve the plastic pollution crisis. They are calling the process “advanced recycling,” even though nothing gets recycled. Instead, the trash that enters a so-called “advanced recycling” facility is burned, creating harmful air pollution and toxic ash.

SPEAK OUT: Tell EPA to protect our communities from pollution from these plastics incineration facilities.

Tell EPA: Let States Limit Harmful Pollution From Trucks

Tell EPA: Let States Limit Harmful Pollution From Trucks

For more than 50 years, US states have had the explicit right granted under the Clean Air Act to protect their residents’ health by adopting air pollution standards for trucks that are safer than the federal standards. California is currently seeking EPA’s approval of its standards for heavy-duty vehicle pollution and rules to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles. We need EPA to approve these state standards.

California’s standards for truck pollution, which have been adopted by five other states, are crucial in the effort to clean up our air.

SPEAK OUT: Tell EPA to approve California’s stronger pollution standards for heavy-duty trucks.

Tell Senators: Help Get Electric School Bus Funding into Our State

Tell Senators: Help Get Electric School Bus Funding into Our State

In May 2022, EPA opened applications for its Clean School Bus Program, a $5 billion program that will help school districts across the country replace older diesel school buses with zero-tailpipe-pollution electric buses. This new EPA program is a historic opportunity to invest in cleaner, healthier transportation for our children, and we can’t let this moment pass us by.

SPEAK OUT: Contact your Senators to ask them for help getting Clean School Bus Program funding into school districts in your state.

Tell Congress: Help Young People (and All of Us) Cope with Climate Anxiety

Tell Congress: Help Young People (and All of Us) Cope with Climate Anxiety

Congress is currently considering a resolution that includes recommendations for addressing the harmful effects of climate change on young people’s mental health. H. Res. 975, Expressing the Mental Health Impacts of Recurrent Climate-Related Disasters on Youth, advocates for more funding toward youth-centered mental health resources and incorporation of mental health considerations into climate education, resilience, and adaptation efforts.

SPEAK OUT: Join parents across the country in urging our members of Congress to support and cosponsor H. Res. 975 for our children’s mental health.

Tell EPA: Thank You for Objecting to Colorado's Permit Renewal for Suncor Refinery

Tell EPA: Thank You for Objecting to Colorado’s Permit Renewal for Suncor Refinery

For over 10 years, Suncor has been operating on expired permits to which the state has turned a blind eye even as the health of nearby families is being put at risk. North Denver, Colorado families are repeatedly subjected to the harmful pollution spewing into neighborhoods from the Suncor Refinery.

Finally, there is a glimmer of justice. The Environmental Protection Agency heard us and is taking action.

SPEAK OUT: Thank the EPA today! This is a testament to what we can do when moms work together and keep speaking up.

Tell EPA: Stop the Chemical Industry’s Attempts to Cripple Our Hard-won Toxics Law

Tell EPA: Stop the Chemical Industry’s Attempts to Cripple Our Hard-won Toxics Law

The recent headlines have been shocking: toxic chemicals in our everyday stuff — furniture, cleaning supplies, shampoo — are interfering with our ability to reproduce.

Our chemical regulatory system has been rigged in favor of bringing new chemicals to market, instead of protecting our health from potential harms. Even after our chemical policy was updated in 2016, with strong bipartisan support, the implementation of the new law under Trump's EPA fell far short of its mission to protect public health.

SPEAK OUT: We know we can do better — and we know our children, and their children, are counting on it. Tell EPA Administrator Michael Regan to protect our children from toxic chemicals.

Tell Congress: Support the Baby Food Safety Act

Tell Congress: Support the Baby Food Safety Act

Two recent congressional reports found significant levels of toxic heavy metals in baby food—both conventional and organic. Lead. Arsenic. Cadmium. Mercury. These are poisonous to a baby’s developing brain and nervous system.

The Baby Food Safety Act would address this problem by dramatically reducing toxic heavy metals in baby food, educating parents about the risks, and investing in researching ways to reduce toxic heavy metals in crops and soil.

SPEAK OUT: Tell Congress to protect our babies by supporting the Baby Food Safety Act.

Tell the Senate: End Fossil Fuel Tax Breaks and Subsidies

Tell the Senate: End Fossil Fuel Tax Breaks and Subsidies

Oil and gas giants - some of the world’s most profitable companies - are granted hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks and subsidies each year—even though these are old industries that have not needed the financial boost for many decades. Meanwhile, they pay absolutely no price for the damage they are doing to our health, and in climate chaos.

Our investments must go to the deployment of clean renewable energy.

SPEAK OUT: Tell the Senate to stop the money pipeline. It is past time for an overhaul of fossil fuel tax breaks and subsidies.
