"Sierra Club enthusiastically supports the Save Oak Flat Act to permanently protect Oak Flat, or Chi’chil Bildagoteel, an area sacred to the San Carlos Apache and numerous other Tribes."
"Allowing an international mining giant to turn these sacred and unique lands on the Tonto National Forest into a giant crater is not in the public’s interest and is frankly unconscionable."
"This bill will halt that and restore the protections for the lands. We really appreciate Chairman Grijalva’s sustained effort to protect Oak Flat and hope the Congress will move forward with passing it." - @SLBahr

VICTORY: Deb Haaland just became Secretary of the Interior with bipartisan approval in the Senate. She is the first Native American to hold a cabinet position in this country's history. 👏👏👏
“Haaland’s lived experiences are critical to reorienting Interior toward people, Indigenous rights and climate-focused, science-based conservation," said Chris Hill, acting director of Sierra Club’s Our Wild America campaign.
"We look forward to seeing our country’s lands and waters integrated with efforts to increase outdoors equity, mitigate climate impacts by protecting 30 percent of lands and water by 2030, and foster healthier communities."
THREAD: This is laughable. Wheeler is an ex-coal lobbyist working for TRUMP, meeting w/ & doing the bidding of corporate polluters. That's the definition of collusion.
Lives are at stake. We can't afford an EPA admin in cahoots w/ corporate polluters who lies to cover that up
Sierra Club statement: Trump Administration Considers Forcing Taxpayers to Bail Out Coal and Nuclear Executives sc.org/2JneIQl
"This is an outrageous ploy to force American taxpayers to bail out coal and nuclear executives who have made bad decisions by investing in dirty and dangerous energy resources..." - @maryannehitt
"Trump will clearly try anything to help millionaire coal and nuclear executives, even demanding American families fork over big bucks to prop up their uneconomic, failing power plants."
REALITY CHECK: Pruitt has spent $3 MILLION on security and travel in just over a year. His security detail is three times as large as his predecessors, yet the AP found no court records of cases of anyone being arrested for threatening Pruitt. #BootPruitt apnews.com/e2fdc3fe88be43…
REALITY CHECK: Here's where you could stay in DC for the rent Pruitt was paying his fossil fuel lobbyist landlord (though his rent was late, so the landlord changed the locks). Spoiler alert; These aren't super fancy like Pruitt's luxury condo #BootPruitt washingtonian.com/2018/04/04/sco…
REALITY CHECK: While Pruitt is a dangerous threat to the health of our families, his sloppy and careless legal work is undermining his ability to even implement his extreme pro-polluter agenda in several key cases. #BootPruittnytimes.com/2018/04/07/cli…
Hey, @EPAScottPruitt – we hear you’re claiming not to be involved with decisions about your extravagant, first-class travel. Well then, let's talk about what you're definitely involved in! THREAD! wapo.st/2EtP2jy#SpendyScott
Quick refresher @EPAScottPruitt: you run the @EPA, whose mission is to “protect human health and the environment.” Just keep that in mind while we discuss your decisions as administrator. #PollutingPruitt
You decided to repeal lifesaving health protections to try to prop up your polluter cronies by gutting the #CleanPowerPlan - even though the vast majority of Americans support it. #ProtectCPPreut.rs/2EqamSX
