Tell Trump's EPA Staff: Stop Lying About Your Record

Mandy Gunasekara, Trump’s former EPA Chief of Staff, has been making misleading claims that the Trump administration was focused on protecting clean air and water. This narrative is far from the truth. Under Trump’s EPA, critical environmental protections were rolled back, leading to more polluted air and water, and putting millions of Americans' health at risk.

During Trump’s tenure, the EPA rolled back over 100 environmental regulations. These rollbacks included weakening the Clean Water Act, reducing limits on methane emissions from oil and gas companies, and scaling back long-standing air quality standards. These changes favored corporate polluters while endangering public health and disproportionately harming low-income communities and communities of color.

Gunasekara’s false statements are an attempt to rewrite history. Experts, such as those at the Natural Resources Defense Council, have condemned the Trump administration's actions, noting that they allowed more toxins into the environment and left communities vulnerable. "These rollbacks put corporate profits over the health of Americans," says an expert from the NRDC.

The truth is clear: the Trump administration did not prioritize clean air or water. It’s time to hold Gunasekara accountable for her lies and push for policies that genuinely protect the environment and public health.

By signing this petition, you’re demanding that Mandy Gunasekara stop spreading misinformation and that leaders commit to real solutions for cleaner air and water. The health of our communities depends on it.
