@bascule #Protester's lifeline according Jennifer Shin: "If you're protesting on #Saturday please wear a cap and mask to protect your identity from the #cult.
Also, it was suggested to me that you should write the phone number of the #ACLU #FirstDefenseLegalAid on your arm. That number is 1-800-529-7374 in case anything happens."

+ Also you could/should additionally write a number of a loved one at home or a lawyer you trust on your arm (waterproof ink).

#MarshMadness day 19 :boost_requested:

Today is a little different. Today I am asking you for action, especially if you live in the US.

We have only six more days to comment about the looming removal of NEPA: National Environmental Policy Act. This act was a simple yet very effective framework for protecting our environment and has far and wide reaching positive effects. It is often called the "Magna Carta" of our environment laws. NEPA was one of the first laws ever written that establishes the broad national framework for protecting our environment. For example, sewage treatment to ensure clean water is a direct result from NEPA. It was signed into law by Nixon, and has enjoyed bipartisan support.

Please go to: federalregister.gov/documents/ and leave your comment. Make sure to follow the rules of including the name & docket number in your comment.

A bit of history on the law side: epa.gov/archive/epa/aboutepa/1

Overall history: historylink.org/File/9903
Quote of note:
"Russell Train, the council’s original chairman, looked back on NEPA’s legacy 40 years after its signing by writing, “It is fair to say that NEPA brought environment front and center to federal agencies, and this can be deemed a success brought about, in no small part, by the many federal employees and citizens who have applied the law over these decades. ... No longer could federal agencies say ‘we know best’ ... . NEPA democratized decision-making”

Today I got a letter from my daughter’s school with the results from a lead/PFAS test funded by the EPA—an agency the Trump administration has repeatedly tried to cut funding for.

This sponsorship protects our children from drinking water with lead in it while they are at school.

The EPA provides public safety services by ensuring that the environment where our children live is not putting them in danger. #uspol #epa #protect #SaveTheChildren #funding #Philanthropy #hoosiermast #indiana
