The Trump Administration is shutting down the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Environmental Justice offices—a direct attack on frontline communities fighting for clean air, water, and land, as well as everyday people who deserve the right to breathe clean air, drink safe water, and live in healthy environments.

Generations of progress are being erased. This means more people will face the devastating impacts of the climate crisis—creating more health, housing, and environmental disparities. It is the government’s job to ensure these protections exist, not dismantle them.

The Solutions Project stands with climate justice leaders and frontline communities who will continue to fight for the right to clean air, safe water, and a healthy future.

As the EPA shuts down Environmental Justice offices and tries to gut decades-old laws intended to keep everyone safe from industrial pollution, we must turn to the states, philanthropy, and responsible businesses to take greater leadership.
