Members of Congress just introduced the #StopOrphanedWellsAct. As proposed rollbacks threaten to return cleanup bonding to '50s levels, this bill ensures oil & gas drillers clean up after themselves instead of leaving taxpayers with a $753B bill. More: www.bennet.senate.gov/2026/10/02/b...

URGENT: Big Oil is pushing our planet to the limit and needs to be held accountable for the devastation it wreaks for profit. But two new bills could give the industry full legal immunity — and they're being voted on TOMORROW. If passed, they'll then go to the House for consideration.

Another one of Trump's attacks on endangered species takes effect today, making it easier to destroy the habitats of vulnerable populations. However, here are ways to fight back against some of these attacks, starting with protecting life in the Gulf: earthjusticeaction.org/action/dont-...

As the next U.S. Attorney General, Todd Blanche's DOJ will focus even more on Trump’s personal vendettas instead of protecting people, combating pollution, and securing environmental justice. The AG should work for the people, not the president. earthjusticeaction.org/news/earthju...

Last week, GreenLatinos joined advocates on Capitol Hill to urge Congress to act on extreme heat. Our Senior Climate Justice & Clean Air Advocate, Meisei Gonzalez, joined Valerie Marín of RUMBO Phoenix to share Arizona stories, advocate for LIHEAP, and advance the Latino Climate Justice Framework.

The public deserves transparency. Alaska Native communities deserve meaningful consultation. America's Arctic deserves accountability. Thank you @rephuffman.bsky.social and @heinrich.senate.gov for requesting key info related to the fast-tracked rulemaking process for Alaska's Western Arctic!

I am grateful to Earthjustice for convening a roundtable focused on the intersection of the climate crisis, racial justice, and public health.

More than 180 industrial facilities have been exempted from key Clean Air Act protections under this administration. Sacramento has fought too hard for cleaner air to let polluters get a free pass. That's why I introduced the No Passes for Polluters Act.

"The Defense Production Act is an important tool... that does not mean Congress should reauthorize sweeping emergency powers without real guardrails." @mccollum.house.gov sounds off on the dangers of reauthorizing the DPA without Tribal, enviro, and anti-corruption protections.

What if we told you that some of this year’s most important elections didn’t involve the House or Senate? When it comes to moving environmental policy, your most impactful vote might just be at the bottom of your ballot. (1/6)

The DOJ’s duty is to protect the civil rights of the American people. Todd Blanche is more focused on serving one man: Trump. We deserve an Attorney General who will put the people first and ensure the DOJ is fair and independent. Blanche will not. #BlockBlanche

Habitat loss is the #1 reason species go extinct. But the Trump admin has finalized a rule under the Endangered Species Act that would allow the widespread destruction of endangered species' habitats. Earthjustice has protected endangered species for decades. We’ll see the Trump admin in court.

🚨 A new proposal by the Dept. of the Interior would virtually eliminate public participation in oil & gas leasing decisions and allow companies to shirk clean-up responsibilities, passing potentially billions in costs to taxpayers. Public lands belong to all of us, not the highest bidder.

We deserve high-quality, affordable food. The Senate had an opportunity to help us get it with their version of the Farm Bill, but instead, they chose to prop up corporations and polluters. This bill cannot pass as it stands. We deserve better. earthjusticeaction.org/news/earthju...
