Virtual — On April 18th, 2025, Moms Clean Air Force, in partnership with West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC), the Climate Action Campaign, and in-state partners will be hosting a virtual press conference at 12:30pm EST. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) core mission is to protect the American people and their communities from dangerous and deadly pollution. Congress has the power to protect Americans from dangerous pollution by ensuring we have the scientists and public health experts working at a strong EPA and by providing appropriate funding for the EPA’s critical work to protect our health, our children and our environment.
We invite members of the press to attend and will be hosting a short question and answer session.
What: Save the Environmental Protection Agency
