friend,

Imagine finding out that the corporation behind a massive, fossil-fueled industrial facility being built next to your home can begin construction without a single shred of community input and all before they ever applied for an air pollution permit. 

This scenario could soon become a reality across the United States. 

The EPA recently introduced a reckless proposal to rewrite a core piece of the Clean Air Act known as the New Source Review program, a safeguard that prevents fossil fuel companies from building new infrastructure that pollutes without any review or notification. 

TAKE ACTION: Tell the EPA to reject this dangerous loophole and safeguard our right to clean air! 

For over forty years, the New Source Review program has served as a critical line of defense. Congress required these protections to ensure that decisions about the construction of major sources of pollution are only made after considering air quality impacts and giving local families a voice. 

This new proposal flips that script entirely, creating a massive shortcut for developers. The Trump administration explicitly singles out massive AI infrastructure and fossil fuel power plants as facilities to be fast-tracked under this new policy. This would effectively allow them to begin physical on-site construction before their environmental and public health impacts are ever evaluated. 

Not only does this proposed rule strip communities of transparency, but fast-tracking fossil fuel plants for tech infrastructure increases the risk of saddling everyday families with higher healthcare costs and skyrocketing energy bills. 

Public health cannot be treated as an afterthought to corporate convenience. We have a brief window to demand that the EPA withdraw this proposal, but it ends tomorrow, June 29. 

Demand that the EPA withdraw this proposal and protects human health over polluter profits. 

Thank you for standing with us,
