Call on Congress to Defend Critical Government Agencies

In just the first few weeks of the second Trump term, critical environmental enforcement offices have been closed, federal funding for environmental projects has been frozen, and thousands of federal workers have been laid off.

Important offices within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Justice, tasked with holding polluters accountable and ensuring equitable environmental access for vulnerable communities, have been shut down. The administration has also fired nonpartisan public servants with deep scientific expertise and removed staff essential for impartial, science-based policies.

More agencies responsible for upholding bedrock environmental protections and protecting our planet could be next. Earthjustice, the leading environmental law nonprofit, is telling Congress that it’s time to fight back.

Add your name to urge lawmakers to hold the line and do everything in their power to ensure agencies like the EPA have the tools and expertise to continue protecting our health and the environment.
