Take action to protect our environmental laws!

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a critical protection for our health and environment -- it is often called the “Magna Carta of Environmental Law.” It requires the government to weigh environmental and community concerns before approving pipelines, highways, drilling permits, and new factories on federal lands.

Trump’s rollback has already exposed more communities to toxic air pollution. We need your help to push the Biden administration to reverse the rollback and protect this bedrock environmental law.

Comments

To the Council on Environmental Quality:

The Council on Environmental Quality’s rollback of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is an attack on the health and safety of communities across the country, at a time when we need bold leadership to confront the twin pandemics of racism and COVID-19. Instead of uplifting the voices of marginalized communities, the CEQ attacked NEPA, and its critical protections for frontline communities.

NEPA ensures that the public has a voice in decisions about what happens in their communities, and the rollback is nothing more than an attempt to sideline the public, particularly communities of color, at a time when our voices matter most. The CEQ is selling out our health, and entrenching federal climate denial for the sake of corporate polluters looking to rubber stamp their own projects and pump more toxins into our air and water. We need you to uphold NEPA's protections now more than ever. This rollback is a dangerous step in the wrong direction.
