This 50th #EarthDay, it’s more clear than ever: we need bold, aggressive action to tackle & defeat the #ClimateCrisis. We must #ActOnClimate, protect clean air & water, & build a clean energy economy to keep our planet safe for our children & grandchildren.
But the Trump administration has taken every opportunity – even a pandemic – to roll back safeguards for our air, water, climate, & public lands. It is wrong & unacceptable that they’ve stopped at nothing to do the bidding of their fossil fuel allies. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
With a former coal lobbyist leading the @EPA and a former oil lobbyist leading @Interior, it’s no surprise that the Trump administration is putting the profits of their former & future clients above the safety and well-being of our communities. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Earlier this month, @SenMarkey & I demanded answers from the Trump admin on their ongoing efforts to weaken environmental enforcement during the coronavirus pandemic – even after warnings that pollution further undermines public health during the crisis. buzzfeednews.com/article/zahrah…
We cannot afford to ignore threats of the #ClimateCrisis. @RepCasten & I are leading the Climate Risk Disclosure Act, so we can transition our economy to clean energy & reduce risks of environmental & financial catastrophe from climate change. warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
We must ensure that our financial system takes steps to protect our communities from climate-driven catastrophes. That is why I pressed the nation’s largest banks on what they are doing to mitigate economic risks from the #ClimateCrisis. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
We must fight for environmental justice. Polluters have long exposed communities of color & low-income communities to the highest concentrations of pollution while govt looked the other way. We must put #EnvironmentalJustice at the center of our response to the #ClimateCrisis.
We see the effects of the #ClimateCrisis every single day. As we work to rebuild our economy & prioritize the health of our communities, we must also meet the urgency of the moment to #ActOnClimate. I will continue to fight to protect our environment – on #EarthDay & every day.
