You love to see a 50th anniversary #EarthDay thread. Today, we’re highlighting our fights and victories for the rule of law in environmental conservation:
On behalf of @HealthyGulf, we sued Trump’s @Interior for having issued 960 waivers to oil & gas companies for the very safety measures designed to prevent another #DeepwaterHorizon. (2/9) https://twitter.com/HealthyGulf/status/1252255892810186753
Our lawsuit w/ @WORCaction resulted in @Interior disbanding its unlawful fossil-fuel-stacked advisory body, the Royalty Policy Committee, and the court barring its recommendations from use. (3/9) https://twitter.com/DemocracyFwd/status/1161736950170021888
Alongside @NRDC, we won a legal victory vacating Trump’s @ENERGY rollback of air conditioner efficiency testing requirements at the request of a single manufacturer. (6/9) https://twitter.com/DemocracyFwd/status/1108463822975782913
We’re taking the Trump admin to court w/ @UCSUSA for its unlawful attempt to take cleaner, cheaper and safer cars off the roads by worsening emission standards and intensifying global climate change in the process. (7/9) https://democracyforward.org/lawsuits/union-of-concerned-scientists-et-al-v-epa/
And we stepped in on behalf of @Wilderness & @audubonsociety to intervene in litigation to protect the Idaho habitat of our favorite bird, the greater sage-grouse, from Trump admin rollback. (8/9)
You made it to the end! But this thread isn’t even our exhaustive list (phew). We’ll be retweeting our enviro actions all day today for #EarthDay , so follow along or learn more about our litigation here:
