House Republicans Disarm the United States in the Face of the Climate Crisis and Slash Funds for Clean Water and National Parks

Press Release

"When it comes to caring for the environment -- ensuring our air is safe to breathe, our water is safe to drink, and we are resilient in a changing climate -- House Republicans take the side of the most egregious polluters and climate-deniers. Their 2024 Interior funding bill damages our public lands, promotes dirty energy, jeopardizes biodiversity, and disarms the United States in the face of the climate crisis. It slashes funding for the arts and prohibits the Smithsonian from highlighting the contributions of Latinos in U.S. history and culture by not making it possible to move forward with the National Museum of the American Latino. Continuing to consider these extreme Republican bills only brings us closer to a shutdown. We continue to waste our time debating partisan policies instead of coming together to write bills that can earn the bipartisan, bicameral support needed to become law. It is past time for House Republicans to meet House Democrats at the negotiating table."
