Remove Lee Zeldin from the EPA Before More Damage Is Done
Lee Zeldin is putting our health and climate at risk — and we need your voice right now.
Recent reporting from Politico and The Washington Post reveals that Zeldin, the current head of the Environmental Protection Agency, has been actively engaging with and amplifying climate denial groups at a time when the climate crisis is accelerating. According to CBS News, he even told climate skeptics to “celebrate vindication,” signaling a dangerous shift away from science-based policy.
This isn’t just rhetoric — it has real consequences. As Common Dreams and The Guardian have reported, environmental and public health advocates are sounding the alarm, warning that Zeldin’s leadership threatens critical protections for clean air and water. A letter from health experts highlights the growing risk to millions of Americans, especially children, seniors, and frontline communities already facing the worst pollution.
The EPA exists to protect us — not to side with polluters or deny established science.
That’s why we launched a petition demanding that Congress remove Lee Zeldin from his position immediately. Public pressure can force action. We’ve seen it before — when enough people speak out, leaders are pushed to act through oversight, hearings, and direct accountability.
But we need to act fast. With mounting evidence and growing media attention from outlets like CNN and The New York Times covering the rise of climate denial influence in federal policy, this moment is critical.
Sign the petition today — and share it with your friends and family. The louder we are, the harder we are to ignore.
Thanks,
Mary
