EPA head Lee Zeldin, backed by President Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk, has launched an unprecedented all-out assault on environmental protections.

Administrator Zeldin announced staggering plans to repeal or weaken dozens of crucial standards that protect public health and address the climate crisis.

At the same time, the administration, backed by Musk and his DOGE team, is firing staff responsible for helping to enforce pollution laws and dismantling environmental justice programs that protect our most vulnerable and overburdened communities from pollution and toxics.

None of this is a surprise: These actions are clearly laid out in Project 2025, the administration’s blueprint for environmental destruction. And they’re just getting started.

Congress needs to step up to keep Zeldin and Trump in check — and block the destruction of this essential environmental agency at all costs. But your lawmakers need to feel pressure from their constituents like you.

We need your help — urge your members of Congress to stand strong and defend the EPA.

Subject Save the EPA

Dear Senators and Representative:

Message Body

As your constituent, I am deeply concerned about attempts by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, backed by Elon Musk, his DOGE team, and President Trump himself, to dismantle the EPA. Please step in and reject the administration’s plans to:

- Dismantle regulations on coal-fired power plants and fundamental protections for clean air and water in service to the fossil fuel industry
- Threaten vital safeguards protecting us from mercury and other toxic chemicals
- Eliminate emissions limits on cars and trucks and cut funding for other important clean energy projects
- Strike down the EPA’s finding that climate change endangers human health and welfare
- Dismantle environmental justice programs that protect our most vulnerable and overburdened communities from pollution and toxics
- Slash 65% of EPA staff and funding, including shuttering every environmental justice office nationwide

These actions are clearly laid out in Trump’s Project 2025, and the administration is just getting started.

Please stand strong and defend strong EPA protections and the essential staff that work every day for a healthy environment for all. Thank you.
