AFGE launches ‘Save the EPA’ drive

Saying massive grass-roots pressure on lawmakers to force them to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink would succeed, the Government Employees (AFGE) and two top environmental groups last week launched a “Save the EPA” campaign. AFGE, along with the Sierra Club and National Wildlife Federation, launched the campaign on September 12th to protect the EPA from expansive budget cuts and internal restrictions imposed by EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, an avowed climate change denier. The campaign will include in-person lobbying and phone calls from constituents, as well as conversations between EPA workers and community members about the importance of environmental protections.
