The Trump administration's recent executive order to fast-track mining and clear-cutting on public lands under the guise of an "energy emergency" is a blatant disregard for environmental protection and sustainability. This unilateral action, devoid of scientific evidence or public input, prioritizes short-term profits over the long-term well-being of our natural resources and ecosystems.
Expediting environmentally destructive practices such as mining and deforestation will undoubtedly exacerbate climate change, habitat loss, and ecological degradation. The irreversible damage inflicted on pristine landscapes, fragile ecosystems, and vulnerable species will be felt for generations to come. This reckless executive overreach not only undermines existing environmental regulations but also sets a dangerous precedent for future administrations to circumvent the democratic process.
We demand that Congress take immediate action to denounce and overturn this illegal executive order. Our public lands are a national treasure, held in trust for the American people, and must be safeguarded from exploitation by corporate interests.
It is imperative that Congress reasserts its constitutional authority and upholds its responsibility to protect our natural heritage for current and future generations.
