WHAT: Join Moms Clean Air Force, elected officials, and local advocates on February 13 at 4pm EST for a press conference to denounce the EPA’s reckless decision to revoke the Endangerment Finding and clean vehicle standards. The Endangerment Finding provides the legal foundation for EPA regulations that protect people in the U.S. from some of the largest sources of climate pollution, including power plants, transportation, and oil and gas operations. This repeal is an attempt to leave EPA powerless to limit the pollution that is heating up the planet and supercharging dangerous extreme weather. Speakers will talk about how this decision threatens the health of our families—especially our children—and drives up costs at a time when the prices of health care and insurance premiums are already soaring.
WHO:
- Elizabeth Hauptman, Michigan Field Organizer, Moms Clean Air Force
- U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06)
- Teresa Homsi, MPH, Deputy Director, Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action (MICCA)
- Samantha Pickering, Public & Environmental Health Policy Manager, Michigan Environmental Council
WHEN: February 13th at 4:00pm EST (Subject to change depending on Rep. Dingell’s voting schedule)
WHERE: The press conference will be live on Streamyard. Additionally, it will be broadcasted to Moms Clean Air Force X and Youtube , and Moms Michigan X.
