No one voted for dirty air and water: How we make progress right now in the South

WEBINAR | July 31 at 12:30 p.m. ET

Join us for a webinar focused on key efforts to advance protections for clean air and water across the South — even as critical federal safeguards are under attack. 

With a second Trump administration, communities are feeling the impacts of funding freezes, staffing cuts, and attacks on our bedrock environmental laws. But despite the discouraging headlines, there’s progress happening against great odds as communities and states stand up for our environment.

From federal litigation to local advocacy, SELC experts will share how we’re stepping up alongside communities, partner organizations, and state leaders to protect what matters most, including:

  • Defending our bedrock environmental safeguards: Learn how we’re fighting attacks on our federal environmental laws in the courtroom, the halls of government, and our communities.  
  • Pushing for clean air: As the Trump administration tries to curtail longstanding Clean Air Act protections, a Birmingham community is taking matters into their own hands to push back against polluters. 
  • Protecting our clean waters: Hear how a bipartisan coalition secured stronger protections for the Duck River, one of the most biodiverse rivers in the world, showing how states are stepping up as federal protections are at risk by the current administration.  

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to our work, this webinar will offer valuable insights into our region’s most pressing environmental challenges and how working together, we can create real solutions.
