Ceding No Ground

“Clean air, clean water, a safe and stable climate.

“These are the basics that we need our government to provide.

“I'm Abbie Dillen, president of the environmental law organization Earthjustice.

“We made historic progress for the climate and for people's health over the last four years, and we are not going to cede any of the ground we've gained.

“We know the Trump administration is preparing to rehash some of the same old fights that we have won before. And we will win them again, because we have the facts and the law and public opinion on our side.

“We also know that we are facing new challenges, and we will need to navigate alarming shifts in our courts.

“We've built our capacity to do just that.

“For more than 50 years, Earthjustice has used our legal and policy expertise to build better, lasting environmental protections — and defend those protections in court.

“And we won't stop now.

“We are driving solutions forward locally, in the states, and internationally, while we hold the line against federal attacks.

“No matter what the agenda is in the White House, in Congress, we have to keep moving forward. Whenever this administration tries to rollback progress, we will be there to fight back.

“To get involved, text PROGRESS to 43428.”
