Hi all –

Below is the first round of social guidance from the House appropriations hearing on proposed cuts to the EPA budget, featuring opening statements from Reps. McCollum and Lowey. We will continue to release social guidance on this chain; full guidance can be found HERE. This document will be updated with everything sent on this chain. As always, please feel free to adjust this guidance to best fit the voice and tone of your organization. If you have any resources you’d like included in the toolkit (social guidance, blog posts, etc.), please let me know!

Thank you,

Marcy
