Although the Trump administration is attacking critical health rules, and abandoning environmental justice efforts, Earthjustice has long been preparing to fight back where we must and move forward where we can. We’re bringing razor sharp litigation and tapping into more state and local avenues to protect people from pollution and toxic chemicals.

When we fight to defend our federal health protections, we fight for every person in the country. We are fighting for rules that extend a lifeline to thousands of communities with skyrocketing cancer and premature death rates due to disproportionate exposure to pollution. These are rules that alleviate dire health concerns especially in lower-income communities in every state, and particularly for Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous families.

Earthjustice is not backing down — and we know it will take all of us to succeed. The progress we have secured is a testament to the fact that the law and science are on our side. It also reflects the desire of most people across the country for a safer and cleaner world.

Our shared wins represent decades of painstaking work, culminating in concrete measures that will save lives across the country. We’re celebrating our victories and the many opportunities ahead.
