Dear Reader,
Shortly after President Donald Trump returned to the White House, political appointees at the Environmental Protection Agency announced the “biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history.” Foundational environmental laws, rules and regulations that for decades had been used to clean up the nation’s air and waterways, protect its plants and animals, and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions were suddenly on the chopping block. ProPublica reporters have been tracking the consequences.
Join us for a virtual discussion about the rollback of the Clean Air Act and what it means for public health in communities across America.

Tuesday, Aug. 25, 4 p.m. EDT (virtual event)
