JULY 1, 2022
Dear Friends:
Happy 4th of July. Some bad news about yesterday's Supreme Court decision on the EPA’s ability to restrict power plant emissions.
From Nancy Pelosi:
“In just two weeks, the court has acted to erase reproductive health freedom, flood our public places with more deadly weapons and, now, to let our planet burn.” We have work to do.
