Fwd: the fight to save EPA continues; join us next Tuesday at 2pm ET

[Katie Hoeberling]

Hi everyone,

I thought this event from EPN might be of interest to some of you! For those who don't know them, EPN coordinates a large network of EPA alumni, and provides pro bono technical support to groups trying to work with EPA/have EPA grants.

Best,

Katie

Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Network (EPN) released the results of a post-election poll commissioned to better understand voters’ views on EPA. We found overwhelming public support for the agency across all demographics, including Trump voters.

Please feel free to use the poll findings as you wish, and please join us for a discussion about the poll results and our collective work moving forward on Tuesday, November 26, from 2-3 pm ET. To register, please fill out this form.

Here are some highlights:
- 76% of Trump voters and 86% of all voters oppose attempts to weaken EPA.

- 81% of Trump voters and 88% of all voters want Congress to increase EPA funding or keep funding steady.

- 72% of Trump voters and 80% of all voters support increasing federal funding to communities disproportionately harmed by air and water pollution.

- 64% of Trump voters and 88% of all voters are concerned that Trump will turn EPA over to someone who will “put the interests of polluting corporations ahead of protecting clean water, clean air, and public health.”
- A majority of Trump voters (54%) and 68% of all voters believe that the president should appoint someone to lead EPA who will “focus on implementing environmental protections” rather than “repealing regulations and cutting EPA’s staff and budgets.”

Thank you for your continued partnership and for the amazing work you do! We look forward to working with you to support an EPA that can protect public health and the environment without political interference. Our lives and the lives of our families literally depend on it!

Sincerely,
Michelle
