Velazquez on Trump Climate Change Executive Order

Washington, DC –Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) released the following statement regarding President Trump's Executive Order rolling back climate change policies at the Environmental Protection Agency:

"Donald Trump's Administration appears dead set on rolling back environmental progress our nation achieved under President Obama. New Yorkers are acutely aware of climate change's dangers and have seen the devastating effect from extreme weather like Hurricane Sandy. We will not stand idly by as President Trump takes steps enabling big polluters to ravage our planet and jeopardize our children's futures. All of us must raise our voice in resistance to this ill-conceived policy."
