Click to ask Senators to stop EPA roll-back
MUUSJA ally Green For All is asking people across the country to act now to help stop an attempt to roll back the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.  This weakening of the Clean Air At could have long term implications for how the EPA functions, as well as how our country is able to address global climate change.

You can help right now by clicking this link to send a message to your US Senators urging them to vote to preserve the ability of EPA to do its job.
