ACTION ALERT
Stop the Trump Administration from Putting Polluters Over People

Dear Friend,

The Trump administration is on the precipice of undoing another one of our global warming wins in favor of a huge handout to the oil and gas industry.

Methane is an extremely potent global warming emission, and the largest source of these emissions is the oil and gas industry. Last year, some legislators in Congress attempted to nullify crucial rules put in place by the Obama administration that limit the amount of methane pollution that the oil and gas industry is allowed to vent, leak, and simply burn off (in a process called “flaring”) on America’s public and tribal lands.

Thanks to supporters like you calling your senators in protest of this dangerous move, we were able to convince senators on the fence to side with people over polluters and preserve the rules that hold oil and gas companies accountable.

But it seems like this public outrage and hard-fought win in the Senate weren’t enough to convince the Trump administration and the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Shortly after we protected the standards from congressional attacks, the Trump administration announced it would review them. Now, BLM has released a new proposal that significantly weakens current protections around methane emissions.

We can’t let them take this global warming victory away. Tell the Trump administration that you oppose any attempts at weakening crucial methane pollution standards!
