Remove Lee Zeldin from the EPA Now

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency is siding with climate denial while communities face worsening pollution, fires, and extreme weather — this is an emergency we cannot ignore.

At a moment when the climate crisis is accelerating, Lee Zeldin has used his platform to legitimize climate denial and undermine the very science the EPA is charged with upholding. In April 2026, Zeldin appeared at a major conference promoting climate skepticism, signaling to polluters and extremists that the federal government is retreating from its responsibility to protect public health. This comes as wildfires, toxic air, and extreme heat events are intensifying across the country.

Already, health experts and environmental advocates are raising alarms, warning that Zeldin’s leadership threatens decades of progress on clean air and water protections. The EPA’s mission is to follow science and safeguard people — not to amplify misinformation.

The consequences are real. Millions of Americans, especially children, seniors, and frontline communities, rely on the EPA to enforce limits on pollution that cause asthma, heart disease, and premature death. Weakening these protections puts lives at risk while giving corporate polluters a free pass.

We demand accountability now. Congress must hold urgent hearings and exercise its oversight authority. 

Add your name today to demand Lee Zeldin’s removal. Our voices can force action — but only if we speak out now.
