Hi everyone,

Bellow is social guidance following yesterday’s #DirtyBudget hearing where EPA admin Wheeler testified. The full toolkit can be found here.

• WATCH: Today, @RepPaulTonko defended the need to #ActOnClimate and protect public health  during @EnergyCommerce’s hearing on the #DirtyBudget. https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=424
  
  
• “We have a crisis in this country. Water is poisoned in many communities and people don’t know about it.” @RepDebDingell is fighting to #ProtectCleanWater for communities while @EPAAWheeler & @realDonaldTrump push #DirtyBudget cuts to critical programs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaMMJcpA_zU&feature=youtu.be&t=6514
  

• .@FrankPallone during @EnergyCommerce’s hearing on the #DirtyBudget: “The cuts would harm public health and the environment — just like the administrators predicted.” #ActOnClimate https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=933 

• .@RepYvetteClarke on the#DirtyBudget: “I’m trying to understand why and how this budget request justifies chopping almost 50% of the current funding that goes to our national programs to improve air quality.” #ActOnClimate https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=2556 

• WATCH: @RepDarrenSoto calls out @realDonaldTrump’s #DirtyBudget for cutting funding to the @EPA putting Floridians at risk from sea level rise due to climate change during @EnergyCommerce hearing #ActOnClimate https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=3863

• During @EnergyCommerce #DirtyBudget hearing, @EPAAWheeler doubled down on climate skepticism and refused to uphold the mission of the EPA -- to protect human health and the environment. #ActOnClimate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRvuFpcIoH4&feature=emb_title

• WATCH: “@EPAAWheeler, why are you proposing a cut of $112 million when you’re saying you could use more money?” -@FrankPallone during @EnergyCommerce’s EPA #DirtyBudget hearing: https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=5119

• .@DorisMatsui during @EnergyCommerce’s EPA #DirtyBudget hearing: “I think we all know that part two of rule (the clean car standards) is against public health, against consumers and for consumers and profits.” #ActOnClimate https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=5811

• Thank you @RepDebDingell for calling out the Trump admin’s actions to roll “back more than 95 important environmental regulations like the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, NEPA.” You’re right- it worries us too.  #ActOnClimate https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=6514

• Customers are demanding more fuel economy in more vehicle choices… your rule is half baked at best and we have no fuel economy standards in place for 2022.” - @RepDebDingell during @EnergyCommerce’s EPA #DirtyBudget hearing #ActOnClimate https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=6514

• “It cannot never be said too many times that our environment is in crisis and communities across the country are feeling the effect.” -@janschakowsky during today’s @EnergyCommerce hearing on the#DirtyBudget. #ActOnClimate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaMMJcpA_zU&feature=youtu.be&t=7919

• .@janschakowsky is right. The #DirtyBudget “will not provide the help our communities need.”  #ActOnClimate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaMMJcpA_zU&feature=youtu.be&t=7919

• With the #DirtyBudget,  “the chances of my constituents drinking arsenic-latent water and breathing hazardous air increases drastically.” - @RepRaulRuizMD during today’s @EnergyCommerce hearing. #ActOnClimate https://youtu.be/iaMMJcpA_zU?t=8277

• 👏👏👏 @RepBarragan during @EnergyCommerce’s EPA #DirtyBudgetHearing: “[@EPAAWheeler], let me read you from the EPA website what it’s designed to do since you don’t know as the administrator.” #ActOnClimate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaMMJcpA_zU&feature=youtu.be&t=8893 

• UNACCEPTABLE: @EPAAWheeler is defending a #DirtyBudget that would:

- Cut EPA’s budget by 26% (lowest funding level in 35 yrs)

- Cut over 50 vital pollution reduction programs

- Cut EPA research funding nearly in half

- Cut the Superfund program by 10%
