Demand Congress Reject Attacks on Long-Standing Clean Air Protections

Congress is considering resolutions under a "fast-track" tool called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that would overturn longstanding California clean air waivers.

Repealing these safeguards would mean more air pollution from transportation causing real harm to our health and our pocketbooks -- as well as delivering yet another handout to Big Oil.

These protections have helped states address harmful pollution from cars, trucks, garden equipment, ships, and harbor craft.

States, manufacturers, ports, and businesses have relied on them for years, and many of the standards have already been implemented. Overturning them now would undermine states' ability to protect public health, create uncertainty for businesses that have already invested to comply, and threaten progress toward cleaner air.

Instead of increasing pollution, Congress should focus on policies that will actually make transportation more affordable for Americans. Take action now!

I urge you to vote No on the six Congressional Review Act resolutions seeking to overturn California’s longstanding Clean Air Act waivers. These EPA-approved protections reduce harmful pollution from cars, trucks, garden equipment, ships, and harbor craft. States, manufacturers, ports, and businesses have relied on them for years, and many of the standards have already been implemented. Overturning them now would undermine states’ ability to protect public health, create uncertainty for businesses that have already invested to comply, and threaten progress toward cleaner air. Given the affordability crisis facing millions of people today, attempting to nullify these waivers would waste time and resources. These resolutions would not make transportation more affordable, in fact, they could strain household budgets even more by increasing our dependence on volatile fuel prices. Please reject this unlawful use of the Congressional Review Act and protect states’ longstanding authority to safeguard clean air and public health. Thank you.
