Donald Trump is Racist + Clean Water Rule
 
Scott Pruitt has proposed that the EPA move to rollback or remove an Obama-era protection to water supplies in the form of the “Clean Water Rule”. Rescinding this regulation would allow businesses to dump waste into bodies of water that are currently protected and that feed into drinking water. From July 27th a 30-day public comment period began on the proposal – before this period is up we need to flood them with comments!!
 
Action:
 

1. Go to Regulations.gov and click on the “Comment Now!” button on the first bar under “Primary Documents”

 

1. Contact Scott Pruitt in whatever way you’d like (postcard, phone call, or email) and protest the move to do away with the Clean Water Rule

 
Donald Trump has responded to the violence in Charlottesville by saying that the “alt-left” is equally to blame.
 
Action:
 
Call the White House and tell him you disapprove of his response and want to see him take a more active roll in fighting white supremacy. Contact info here.
