The Endangerment Finding is the legal foundation that requires the EPA to limit pollution and protect communities from the health impacts of climate change. Revoking it would dismantle critical protections and abandon the agency’s mission to protect the environment and human health. #ActOnClimate
Trump moves to scrap climate rule tying greenhouse gases to public health harm
EPA administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans to revoke key scientific finding that allows for US climate regulation

In 2022 Enbridge quietly transferred ownership of a sacred Indigenous site—slated for archaeological review—to Emmet County, which then paved it over for a parking lot. This blatant disregard for Tribal Nations, public input, and federal law is unacceptable. Governor Whitmer: shut down Line 5.
Unearthed bones, land swap, expedited review: Enbridge Line 5 tunnel review leaves tribes behind
Records, court filings and emails reveal how federal review of Enbridge's Great Lakes tunnel project leaves tribal officials feeling cast aside.

A polluter-first agenda will accelerate the climate crisis and leave American businesses vulnerable. Rolling back pollution protections and climate action undermines the vital role that a stable climate, clean water, and clean air play in protecting our communities. #ActOnClimate #100Days100Harms
