Defend California's Right to Set Strong Emissions Standards for Clean Air
Related Article: Federal Clash: DOJ Challenges California's Emissions Standards - devdiscourse.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 12:58:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: U.S. Department of Justice, Acting Assistant Attorney General Adam Gustafson, and federal policymakers
Goal: Urge the Department of Justice to drop its lawsuit and support California’s authority to enforce strong emissions standards for trucks.
California has long led the nation in environmental protection, setting ambitious emissions standards that safeguard public health and address the climate crisis. The state's 'Clean Truck Partnership' is a critical step toward reducing air pollution, especially in communities disproportionately affected by diesel emissions.
The Department of Justice's lawsuit, aligned with President Trump’s deregulatory agenda, threatens to undermine California’s authority to protect its residents and set an example for other states. Rolling back these standards would harm public health, exacerbate climate change, and set a dangerous precedent for states’ rights to enact stronger protections than federal minimums.
We call on the Department of Justice to respect California’s leadership and drop its legal challenge. Let’s prioritize clean air, healthy communities, and a livable climate for all.
Key Demands
- Drop the lawsuit against California’s truck emissions standards immediately.
- Affirm California’s right to set stronger emissions standards under the Clean Air Act.
- Support state-led efforts to reduce air pollution and transition to cleaner vehicles.
- Protect the authority of states to go beyond federal environmental regulations in the interest of public health.
- Engage with environmental justice communities impacted by truck pollution to ensure their voices guide policy decisions.
