Take action:

Tell your Virginia representatives: Reject Any Budget That Attacks the EPA

The proposed cuts are so outrageous that members of the President's own party are speaking out. We simply cannot allow this to stand.

President Trump has proposed deep cuts to the EPA's budget—ones that put the health and safety of the people of Virginia at great risk. In fact, EPA provided Virginia with $3.2 million just last year to ensure the water you and your family drink is clean and safe. President Trump's proposed budget zeroes out this entire program, putting your drinking water in jeopardy.

The people of Virginia—and all Americans—deserve better. We deserve to know that our government is dedicated to cutting asthma attacks, toxic pollution in our communities, and lead in our drinking water—not making it worse.

Take action today, and tell your representative to protect the people of Virginia.

Please reject budget attacks on the EPA

Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

I am writing today in strong opposition to President Trump's proposal to cut the EPA's budget. This crucial agency, tasked with ensuring all Americans have access to air that is safe to breathe and water that is clean to drink, is already operating with limited funds, as its budget has already been cut by over 20 percent in just the last few years.

Americans want a strong EPA. A Reuters/Ipsos opinion survey released in mid-January highlighted that more than 4 out of 5 Americans want EPA's authority preserved or strengthened under the Trump Administration. Yet the Administration's current proposal cuts the EPA by nearly one-third, taking aim at their ability to support brownfields industrial site cleanup (slashing that budget by 30%), state grants addressing the lead epidemic (cut by 30%), and funding to help native tribes combat pollution (also cut by 30%).

We simply cannot allow this to happen. States are heavily reliant on the EPA's expert analysis and support. Without that help, they will be handcuffed to protect citizens.

Please fight to protect the health and safety of your constituents. Oppose these senseless attacks on the Environmental Protection Agency. Our communities are counting on your leadership.

Sincerely,
