U.S (PROGRESS AMERICA) : Now that SUPREME COURT has come after the EPA :

 

 

 

Friend, the EPA v. WV Supreme Court decision will cost millions of lives and undermine the health, safety, and future of EVERY single one of us — especially our KIDS.   By blocking the EPA from protecting us from carbon pollution, the court has launched an appalling and immoral attack on our families. But it’s not a surprise. This is the result of a decades-long campaign by polluters to protect their profits and evade accountability.     This decision throws down the gauntlet to elected officials at every level in this country.   If our elected leaders don’t now use their power to stop pollution, they are endorsing a devastating future for our families and our children.       As worried and angry people, the most important thing to do today is NOT BE SILENT. Click here to send a letter to your city, state, and federal elected leaders right now demanding they respond to the Supreme Court’s attack and protect our families from carbon pollution.       This is a serious blow to our government’s ability to protect families from carbon pollution.   It makes action by elected leaders more urgent than ever.   But the truth is that polluters had already succeeded at weakening the Clean Air Act by politicizing and polarizing what were once accepted as bipartisan common-sense :   We should protect our health and safety from pollution !   That’s why it is so important for more of us to speak out in this moment. We are the majority and we must re-establish that protecting kids from pollution is a no-brainer, which no elected leader should dare oppose.       Tell your officials that if they aren’t standing up to protect our future, they are standing against our families. Send a letter right now.       The Clean Air Act is a backstop against congressional gridlock — but it was never supposed to be the only way to protect us from carbon pollution. Transitioning in earnest to 100% clean energy was always going to require a broader set of proactive actions from elected leaders.   There is a lot EVERY leader can do, and some of it is already happening : 7 States have committed to 100% clean energy 230 cities and towns and 7 Counties have committed to 100% clean energy – and 51 of them have already gotten there. More than two dozen states, counties, and cities are suing the biggest fossil fuel companies for lying about the damage they knew they were causing. California is even investigating fossil fuel companies’ role in lying to us about plastic pollution.   The more of this that happens, at every level, the more difficult it will be for elected leaders to serve polluters, not our families.       Now that all of us parents are furious at the actions of the Court, it’s essential that we use that energy to demand the strongest possible action from our elected leaders. Send a letter now.       Thanks for taking action to protect our kids.   For A Future,         The Families For A Future team.                              BY FAMILIES FOR A FUTURE
