Save Our Public Lands and Waters: Say No to the Energy Permitting Reform Act

Senator Manchin's Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 (S. 4753) is a dangerous piece of legislation that threatens our environment, public health, and climate.

Before your senator has a chance to vote, let them know that we do not want a fossil fuel future that destroys our public lands and waters! We have made it quick and easy for you to send your email.
