The Proposed "SPEED Act" currently in Congress prioritizes the interests of fossil fuel, mining, and other corporate polluters at the expense of our families and communities.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a bedrock environmental law that has long been an essential tool to ensure that taxpayer dollars and public infrastructure serves the public interest and ensures a healthy environment for present and future generations.
Trump has already signed executive orders changing the way that agencies conduct their NEPA review, limiting our participation.
Now legislation in Congress like the SPEED Act would gut further NEPA, limit reviews, weaken science, and eliminate government accountability when agencies fail to adequately consider the health, environmental, or economic impacts of their decisions. Instead of speeding clean energy development, this bill would create conflict and delay by prioritizing corporate profit over the public interest.
We can not sit back and be silent while billionaire corporations try to sacrifice the air we breathe, water we drink, and climate we rely on for even larger profits.
Will you take action to protect our health, climate, and future? Urge your representatives to oppose the SPEED Act and other attempts to dismantle our bedrock environmental protections today.
