Your Signature is Needed: Tell Congress to OPPOSE gutting bedrock environmental protections

Do you know what’s giving you a say in whether ExxonMobil can roll up to your neighborhood and build an oil refinery? What’s allowing you to provide input on Chevron’s plan to run a pipeline through your community’s drinking water source? It’s a law called the National Environmental Policy Act – and YOU can help stop the efforts in Congress to gut this bedrock legislation. Also called NEPA, the National Environmental Policy Act gives you and me a say in what polluting projects big companies try to put in our communities. It requires thorough assessment and time for community input – but new bills in Congress could fast-track polluting projects and revoke your right to say NO to dirty energy projects.[Please, Friend, tell your Congressmembers to OPPOSE any attempts to gut our bedrock environmental protections!]( [Sign the petition]( If NEPA is weakened, more babies could be breathing toxins from fossil fuel plants. More communities could suffer from contaminated drinking water. In some cases, these are literally life-or-death consequences, Friend. Fossil fuel pollution has been linked to respiratory illnesses, splitting headaches, and even increased cancer rates! You have a right to determine what happens in your own neighborhood. Don’t let Congress take that away from you and give greedy fossil fuel companies the ability to steamroll community input. [Will you send a message to Congress and help us meet our goal of 112 more signatures from your area before 11:59pm TONIGHT? Preserve your right to say NO to fossil fuels!]( [Sign the petition]( Standing with you, Hallie Templeton Legal Director & Senior Campaigner, Friends of the Earth Contact Us: Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA 1-877-843-8687 [Contact us](foe.org/about-us/contact/) Email Preferences: [Click here to unsubscribe]( Learn more: www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org Connect: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Flickr]( © 2021, Friends of the Earth.
