There’s a sad truth about many of our cornerstone environmental laws like the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts: they often go unenforced. What does this look like? Powerful industrial polluters dumping toxins in
our air and water, and environmental regulators following the desires of those major polluters, instead of establishing protections that put people first.
In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever for citizens to understand how they themselves can go after illegal polluters and use our bedrock environmental laws to hold President Trump’s EPA and local regulators accountable.

Pennsylvanians have demonstrated an incredible capacity to come together with their neighbors to protect their communities, through engaging in everything from polluters’ permit hearings to citizen lawsuits against the worst offenders. Pennsylvanians can take
on powerful industries and inactive regulators and win—and we want you to be part of it.
Join us at this forum to learn more about how we can still protect our health and environment in these times.
