Over 200,000 People From Across the Country Urge the EPA to Finalize a Strong Federal Clean Cars Rule
#CleanerCars

sierraclub.org/press-releases…
"It is critical for the @EPA to listen to the hundreds of thousands of people urging the agency to deliver a strong clean cars rule for our health and our climate,"
-- Sierra Club President @RamonCruzDiaz
"For years, Donald Trump attacked our nation’s strongest climate policy - it’s time to get it back and go further than ever before. Cars and light-duty trucks are also a major source of air pollution that predominantly harms low-income communities and communities of color."
"Now is the time for the EPA to move forward with a stringent standard without automaker loopholes, one that delivers real emissions reductions and cleaner air for families across the nation."
Today at @EPA, speakers from Sierra Club, @CleanAirMoms, @HipHopCaucus, @interfaithpower @NRDC & @LCVoters will join together to symbolically deliver the comments to @EPAMichaelRegan & remark on the significance of a strong rule for climate action, racial justice & public health

Sierra Club and Others Sue Biden Administration Over West Virginia’s Grossly Underfunded Mine Reclamation Program. sc.org/3onoNyK (1 of 5)
Decades of industry-friendly oversight has set the stage for a reclamation crisis. Hopefully, under the Biden administration, OSMRE will be up to the challenge of requiring adequate and reliable reclamation funding not just in West Virginia but around the country. (2 of 5)
"For the last 9 years, we’ve looked out our windows onto a strip mine where neighboring farms used to be," said Betsy Lawson, a resident of western Monongalia County. (3 of 5)

Today @RepRaulGrijalva introduced legislation to #SaveOakFlat
naturalresources.house.gov/media/press-re…
"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."

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
Stop projecting, Wheeler. Here’s a quick rundown of some of your collusion:
Andrew Wheeler was a lobbyist for Murray Energy. Now he's making coal CEOs' dreams a reality. newrepublic.com/article/152908…
