In response to the growing list of scandals under Scott Pruitt’s watch, the American Federation of Government Employees hosted a noontime rally yesterday outside EPA headquarters.
“Since becoming Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency,” said AFGE, “Scott Pruitt has worked to dismantle the agency, silence workers, and enrich himself and private corporations.”

It’s our duty to serve and protect
We won’t stand for no neglect
