Fossil fuel and mining industry allies in Congress are once again attempting to gut bedrock environmental laws like the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Clean Water Act, and Clean Air Act to make it easier to greenlight dirty fossil fuel projects and poorly regulated mining operations.

They want to open large parts of our public lands to extraction industries and issue permits to polluting industries that have a long history of polluting our water, land, and air. Most egregiously, they want to silence the voices of people most impacted by energy development from having a say in the projects built in their communities.

Earthjustice supporters have helped us defeat misguided and dangerous changes to our permitting process and environmental laws, and we need your help to do it again.

We must move away from fossil fuels and embrace our transition to clean energy, but we cannot do so without critical environmental protections. We do not have to choose between clean energy and environmental protection, we can do both. We can rapidly build out the clean energy infrastructure and supply chain we need to combat climate change while requiring strong environmental protections and engagement with impacted communities. Environmental laws like NEPA are a predicate to ensuring that our clean energy transition is grounded in justice and benefits all communities.

Join us and urge your Member of Congress to not agree to any permitting deal that guts environmental laws and silences communities.
