Congress is considering amending TSCA — weakening chemical safety protections and exposing communities to hazardous substances. Tracey Woodruff, former EPA senior scientist, warned these changes will significantly weaken TSCA and serve industry, not health

Environmental safeguards protect our air, water and health — and recent rollbacks are raising serious concerns. Marc Boom, senior director of Public Affairs at EPN, spoke with @insideclimatenews.org about the public health risks tied to these policy changes.

ICYMI: In partnership with the EPA Alumni Association, EPN hosted a roundtable for the @howard.edu Water and Environment Association. EPN volunteer Sam Coleman reflected on his EPA service and the challenges with policy implementation

As AI data centers expand and electricity demand surges, we should be scaling clean energy — not weakening coal plant safeguards or repealing the EPA’s climate protections. Rollbacks mean more pollution and more health issues. Read more:

Veterans protected our country. They deserve to be protected from toxic chemicals. TCE and PCE exposure have harmed countless service members and families. This Veterans Day, let’s honor their service not just with words, but with action. EPA must stop delaying the bans on these toxic chemicals.

We are excited to announce that the @enviroprotnet.bsky.social has joined the Coalition. The Environmental Protection Network (EPN) harnesses the expertise of former EPA employees to protect the integrity of the EPA and address issues impacting public health and the environment.

88% of voters—including 81% of Trump voters—support a strong EPA. Shutdowns show us what happens when EPA is weakened. Congress must step up and fund EPA to protect our health. #ProtectEPA

Trump’s plan to mass-fire federal workers during a shutdown isn’t just reckless—it’s illegal. Public servants keep our nation running. We can’t let extremist schemes destroy their livelihoods & our democracy. #ProtectFederalWorkers @democracyforward.org democracyforward.org/updates/trum...

AP quoted EPN’s Jeremy Symons: “This administration has already been implementing a serial shutdown of EPA—whittling away at EPA’s ability to do its job.” With EPA sidelined, polluters go unchecked. Congress must defend our right to clean air & safe water. apnews.com/article/epa-...

The administration is dismantling EPA piece by piece—putting more kids at risk of asthma, more families at risk from toxic water, and more neighborhoods at risk from uncleaned sites. A shutdown would be a preview of what life will look like without a fully functioning EPA. Congress must act #SaveEPA

EPA civil servants protect our air and water every day. They’re not bargaining chips. Trump’s serial shutdown puts polluters first, families last. Congress must stop the serial shutdown of EPA with a bipartisan funding bill. Our full statement: www.environmentalprotectionnetwork.org/20250925_mas...

The Trump Admin says it’s worried about chemicals harming kids—yet it’s pushing to weaken reviews of toxic chemicals. Families deserve protection, not poison. Tell EPA: put health first.

In a new report, EDGI documents the assault on the EPA currently taking place under the second Trump administration. Findings show an EPA that is swiftly being hollowed out and made to work for polluters rather than the health of the public. envirodatagov.org/publication/...
