For the first time in our history, EDF Action is taking a position in a presidential election. We remain committed to building bipartisan coalitions to pass environmental legislation, but President Trump’s relentless assault on the environment is ravaging our climate, air and water — as well as the health of our communities, particularly those most disadvantaged. We can’t tolerate another four years of his radical and irresponsible policies. This is the most consequential election of our lifetime.
