Updates: Endangerment Finding

Thank you to everyone who took action on the endangerment finding! Our network submitted over 125 health-focused public comments, and our joint comment letter was signed by more than 120 leading health and medical organizations.

 

Every one of these comments is crucial in strengthening the administrative record and building the backbone for any future legal challenge. We will continue to advocate for strong federal action that makes it possible for all people in this country to live in a stable and healthy climate.
