Lucas, we need your help. Donald Trump, corporate polluters and their allies
in Congress want to pass a new bill that would make it much harder to
put in place new environmental protections for our air, water and health.
While it’s called the Regulatory Accountability Act, they got the
name wrong. It should be called the “Risk to Americans Act”
— because this reckless bill will make it easier for corporate polluters to
block new health and safety standards and to
dodge responsibility for the environmental damage they cause.
Sign the petition now and tell Congress to save our environmental protections!
We can’t trust big polluters to police themselves. It's just
another way for polluting corporations to block new health and safety
standards, and dodge responsibility for the environmental damage they cause.
The result would be more pollution, more illness and disease and more
hardship for everyday Americans. Nobody should be getting salmonella from
a tainted jar of peanut butter, or listeria from an unscreened carton
of milk, or cancer from exposure to known carcinogens like asbestos.
Those are the threats we face if the so-called Regulatory Accountability
Act passes into law.
Sign the petition from the NRDC Action Fund. Tell your senators to protect
our environmental safeguards by opposing this dangerous bill.
Keep fighting,
