In 2024, Vermont passed
an essential piece of legislation aimed at holding major
polluters accountable for climate change. This policy,
known as the Climate Superfund Act, requires companies
to pay for their carbon emissions. This is an important
step towards averting the worst-case-scenario for global
warming. Now, in a time when this type of policy should
be used across the country, Trump's Department of
Justice wants to kill it. But we won't let
him.
Sign the petition to tell the
Department of Justice to leave the Climate Superfund Act
untouched, and demand other states enact similar
policies!
The Trump
Administration is claiming the policy is unlawful, and
asking a federal court in Burlington to declare the
Superfund Act unconstitutional and
unenforceable. Meanwhile, wildfires are
destroying our forests and making the air toxic to
breathe, floods are ravaging homes and businesses, and
drought is forcing hundreds of thousands of people to
become climate refugees. It doesn't have to be this way.
The DoJ must drop this
asinine case against the Climate Superfund Act, and more
states must stand in solidarity with Vermont and pass
similar legislation! If you agree, sign the
petition!
