EPA officially announced its proposal to roll back the 2009 Endangerment Finding—the legal and scientific foundation of EPA’s responsibility to limit greenhouse gas pollution—along with critical tailpipe pollution protections, which means Moms has been taking every opportunity to sound the alarm and strongly express disapproval.
Moms Director and Co-Founder Dominique Browning released a statement condemning the proposal and highlighting the considerable environmental and health risks of revoking the Endangerment Finding. NPR quotes Dominique’s statement in an article that also ran on over 100 local NPR stations. Reporting in Common Dreams, Courthouse News Service, and Capital B News also includes excerpts of Dominique’s statement. Dominique and Melody Reis, our Director of Federal Policy, were both quoted in News 10 explaining the health and policy implications the of the rollbacks.
Moms gathered in person with Senator Markey and partners outside EPA the afternoon the proposal was announced, blasting Zeldin. Several Moms members can be seen in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette holding signs behind Markey.
