THIS SATURDAY: Moms Clean Air Force, State Senator Kuby, Local Advocates Denounce Trump Administration’s “Scorched Earth” Policies That Slash Pollution Protections

email Email Linkfacebook Share on Facebooktwitter Share on X

Press Statement April 17, 2026

CONTACT: DKC News, [email protected]

WHAT: Join Moms Clean Air Force, Arizona State Senator Lauren Kuby, and local advocates on April 18 at 11:30 AM MST for a press conference to denounce the Trump administration’s policies that put the power of the federal government behind boosting corporate polluter profits while putting zero value—literally—on human lives.

This administration’s scorched earth approach is turning the government against its people: letting polluters poison the air and water, subverting the missions of agencies charged with protecting public health and safety, denying established climate science, dismantling the protections meant to limit life-threatening pollution and to alert people to life-threatening extreme heat, and denying desperately needed federal aid.

Attend the press conference in-person or watch the broadcast to hear from local leaders who will send a clear message to the Trump administration: people are not expendable.

WHO:

  • Pita Juarez, Arizona Field Organizer, Moms Clean Air Force
  • Arizona State Senator Lauren Kuby, Senate District 8
  • Sandy Bahr, Director, Sierra Club Grand Canyon Chapter
  • Nile Bunger, Climate Justice Director, Arizona Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander for Equity
  • Jess Bristow, Senior Digital and Community Organizer, Chispa AZ

WHEN: April 18 at 11:30 AM MST

WHERE:

  • In person: 4/18, 11:30 AM MST. In walkway in front of Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center, 3131 S Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85040
  • Broadcast: 4/20, 10 AM MST Moms Clean Air Force X and YouTube, and Moms Arizona X
