When the Trump Administration moved to Gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Thousands took Action and Spoke Out against this Attack on the Law that Saved Bald Eagles and Humpback Whales from Extinction.
Now, a Coalition of 18 Democratic AGs have United to Sue the Trump Administration and Block their Short-Sighted Rollback of the Endangered Species Act. But they can’t do it Alone. We need 50,000 Supporters to stand with the Democratic AGs Fighting in Court to Protect Vulnerable Species.
If Trump gets his way, we’ll likely see New Oil and Gas Drilling in Areas where At-Risk Species currently Live. And it’ll be Harder for Scientists to Accurately Study the Effects of Climate Change.
But it’s all part of Trump’s War on Science and the Environment that is having Devastating Impacts on Communities across the Country. That’s why Democratic AGs are Suing to Block Trump from Destroying the Endangered Species Act.
The New Regulations Significantly Weaken the Process for Listing and Enforcing Endangered Species Act Protections and Inject Economic and Potentially Political considerations into that Process where None had existed before. They will bring to an End Automatic Protections for Threatened Species, make it Easier to delist Species by Raising the Bar for what Evidence is Required to Show that a Species is Threatened or Endangered, and Limit the Ways in which Climate Change can be Factored into Listing Decisions in “the foreseeable future”, essentially Removing Climate Change as a Consideration just as the Global Climate Crisis is Accelerating.
The Suit was brought by 17 States, the District of Columbia, and the City of New York, was filed in the District Court for the Northern District of California.
The other States involved in the Suit are Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
