This agency routinely violates and disregards laws. We will not stop holding this agency accountable under the law. BLM’s actions are illegal.

They are greenlighting new wells that are in violation of CA's public health protecting setbacks law. They are rubber stamping approvals without allowing public comment, violating federal law. And they are barreling ahead with new permits without waiting for the courts to resolve ongoing litigation.

Now, more than ever, we need to continue making progress on the state and local level – and we’re fighting for increased protections in Connecticut, Maryland & Colorado
States need to listen to the science over the exploitative, disinformation-spreading pesticide industry.

Neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides have emerged as the most ecologically destructive pesticides since DDT and EPA found that the pesticides are driving 200+ species toward extinction.

Chlorpyrifos is a component of nerve gas initially developed by the Nazis in World War II. Decades of science have linked chlorpyrifos to brain damage in children – and it threatens the health of farm workers and more than 1,200 endangered species.

At least Trump gave them some presents too! Since taking office Trump:
🔥 Declared an energy “emergency” to fast-track fossil fuel production
🌎 Withdrew from the Paris Accords
🐻❄️ Opened the Arctic up for drilling
🛢️ Lifted LNG export restrictions
⛽️ Appointed a slew of fossil fuel lovers to his cabinet

Fossil fuel pollution leads to suffering, as we’ve seen recently for the families impacted by extreme weather events like the fires in Los Angeles. Why are taxpayers being forced to fund our own destruction?
This is a waste of our hard earned tax dollars.

Pesticides are poisons – and even small exposures to pesticides matter, especially for rapidly developing babies. Access to clean food is a human right, and retailers like Target must clean up their act to eliminate toxic pesticides from their supply chains.

Our testing found the breakdown products of organophosphate pesticides in 100% of the baby food samples.
Organophosphates are associated with reduced IQ, attention disorders, delayed motor development, increased risk of learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s.

We’ve been fighting these fights for years – we're not going to let up now. We will stand up for Arctic communities, biodiversity, and the environment in court.

Our analysis with @publiccitizen.bsky.social reveals just how dangerous this LNG export boom would be. This approval would put profits for Big Oil over every day Americans, even if Trump claims otherwise.

We will not back down from fighting and stymying the incoming administration, and we will continue to make progress for our climate beyond Donald Trump.
