Defend the Experts and Mission of the Environmental Protection Agency

“State of the Air” 2025 illustrates the urgent need to protect public health from the impacts of air pollution. But the federal agency tasked with the job – the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – is currently facing major threats. 

EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment. It’s their job to make sure air pollution gets cleaned up to levels that are safer for people to breathe. EPA writes rules that require polluting sources to clean up, based on the science and the law. It’s also their job to make sure air pollution gets monitored so people know what’s in the air they breathe. 

For more than 50 years, EPA has made significant progress in cleaning up transportation, electricity, buildings and industry under the Clean Air Act. Thanks to expert agency staff working to monitor, implement and create safeguards under the law, Americans breathe healthier, cleaner air.  

Now, huge swaths of EPA staff are being fired. Many of the programs and offices they work in are at risk of being gutted too. Longstanding safeguards are at risk of being rolled back or weakened and polluters are being given the red-carpet treatment to get out of complying with standards.  

Congress must act to stop these actions that put people’s health at risk. Your voice matters – now more than ever. Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to save EPA’s expert staff and lifesaving programs.
