SATURDAY, MARCH 11 @ 4:00P
LOCATION TBD
GOAL: We want Senator Toomey to reject EPA budget cuts and the slashing of environmental regulations so that the health and safety of Pennsylvanians is protected against the threats of powerful special interest groups, including fossil fuel companies, who place profit over safety. We also want him to help bring environmentally-friendly jobs to areas of Pennsylvania that traditionally rely on the coal industry by joining with Senator Casey and other legislators to re-introduce the RECLAIM Act.
