Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency announced a shocking plan to shut down its Office of Research and Development, the critical scientific engine behind policies that protect our air, water, and health.
This isn’t just a reshuffle — it’s a full-scale attack on environmental science.
If allowed to proceed, hundreds of scientists — biologists, chemists, toxicologists — will be fired. The very people who determine how much pollution is too much, who study the impacts of climate change, and who make sure environmental policy is grounded in science, not profit.
SEEC Members are not standing by. They’re speaking out. Loudly.
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree has called out the plan as illegal, dangerous, and a giveaway to corporate polluters. In her powerful words: “The American people will not stand by while their air, water, and communities are sacrificed for the profits of a few.”
This is exactly why SEEC PAC exists: to support the climate and science champions in Congress who refuse to let extremists and corporate polluters rewrite the rules.
Together, we can make sure science — and the public — have a voice in Congress.
