IS OUR RIGHT
TAKE ACTION : FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO CLEAN AIR
DEMAND EPA DO THEIR JOB TO PROTECT ALL COMMUNITIES FROM AIR POLLUTION
Under President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we face some of the greatest environmental and health rollbacks of the last 50 years, including threats to clean air protections that put our families, friends, and loved ones at risk. We are holding the line to keep our communities – and all neighborhoods across the country – healthy and safe.
Since 2022, the Clean Air for the Long Haul, a coalition of environmental justice organizations from across the U.S., have mobilized by sharing letters, testimonies, and public comments urging the EPA to adopt better clean air standards. Through our advocacy, we achieved some of the strongest, most health-protective clean air standards in history. Now, the protections we fought hard for are under attack. We need your help to hold Trump’s EPA accountable to its mission to protect our health and future.
Right now, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing weakening truck pollution protections. This would increase deadly air pollution, especially for communities of color and lower income. Clean air isn’t a privilege, it’s a human right. YOU CAN PUSH BACK!

THE DARE TO BREATHE CAMPAIGN
We are fighting for the right to clean air for everyone, and we’re not afraid to hold our leaders and industries accountable. From our communities to Congress, we have the drive, vision, and people power to deliver clean air through life-saving policies, so that our communities, and all people, across the country can breathe and thrive, not just survive.
This is about justice.
This is about fairness.
Join us and #DaretoBreathe.
