She wasn't an activist. She was a mom trying to find out why her son was sick. When she refused to be dismissed, the federal government listened. That spirit is still here. The work isn't finished.

Chemical accidents happen every year—putting communities at risk.

EPA’s Risk Management Program helps prevent them.

Weakening it puts workers and nearby communities in greater danger.

We should be reducing risk—not increasing it.

Americans want to be #SaferNotSicker

Trump EPA Slashing Limits on Ethylene Oxide, Chemical Known to Cause Cancer FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 13, 2026   CONTACT: Aaron Bharucha, Public Relations Associate (509) 429-1699 and epn-press@environmentalprotectionnetwork.org  Trump EPA Slashing Limits on Ethylene Oxide,...

Ethylene oxide causes cancer.

EPA’s own science review found serious risks to people living near facilities that emit it.

Weakening protections now means accepting higher cancer risk for those communities.

That’s not acceptable.

Lots happening in the world, but I hope folks can take a minute to catch up on the shocking number of rollbacks EPA is moving forward and their impact on increased exposure to toxic pollutant and health risks.

@helicoptersofdc.bsky.social any track of the two v-22s flying over Silver Spring and Takoma Park on 2/25 at around 12:05am?

Many beautiful rivers are still suffering from decades of toxic pollution like mercury, arsenic, selenium. Coal plants caused it and hundreds still dump into our waterways. EPA is delaying a fix for years. That’s unacceptable. #Cleanwater can’t wait. Congress must step up.

In a single email, the EPA ended her research into how climate change endangers children Jane Clougherty spent years studying how extreme weather affects kids’ health, but as climate threats continue to rise, the Trump administration cancelled her work.

The EPA cancelled grants that would help us understand how children are affected by climate change.

The agency response: Maybe Biden and Harris "shouldn’t have forced their radical agenda of wasteful DEI programs and ‘environmental justice.'"

At today's EPA’s hearing, EPN’s Michelle Roos exposed Lee Zeldin’s flip-flop:

➡️ Once: climate change is real, cut fossil fuels.
➡️ Now: CO2 is “good,” science is “religion."

Her warning: Zeldin is putting politics over public health.

President Donald Trump promises clean water. His proposed budget guts needed protections. Illinois’ share of clean water grants to states would dip to $11 million next year, compared with $105.5 million this year.

President Donald Trump promises clean water for every American, but his latest budget eviscerates federal funding to replace toxic lead pipes, filter out forever chemicals and keep sewage out of lakes and streams.

The House just passed the One Big "Beautiful" Bill. Here's six key takeaways from REPEAT Project's rapid analysis of the bill on what passage means for U.S. energy costs, investment in new electricity supplies, and greenhouse gas emissions. #OBBB 🔌💡

E.P.A. Workers Warn Trump Is Politicizing Their Work In a public letter, employees of the Environmental Protection Agency accused the administration of engaging in unlawful partisan activity and endangering public health.

More than 270 EPA workers signed a letter on Monday denouncing what they described as the Trump administration’s efforts to politicize, dismantle and sideline the main federal agency tasked with protecting the environment and public health.

May 22, 2025 saw 12 hours of toxic harm, contradictions & hypocrisy in Washington, D.C. and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda.

This thread summarizes the ugly, hazardous, hyper-partisan & hypocriticial events of those 12 hours. 1/🧵

Rural Alabama families are forced to pipe sewage into fields. A Biden-era program offered help. The Trump admin just killed it, calling it “illegal DEI.”
