A group of current and former EPA employees has publicly criticized the Trump administration’s policies in a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

They argue that the administration’s actions weaken the EPA’s mission to safeguard human health and the environment.

The letter outlines five key issues: eroding public trust, prioritizing polluters over scientific evidence, reversing progress in vulnerable communities, dismantling the Office of Research and Development, and fostering a culture of fear that pressures employees to compromise their well-being or livelihoods.
