On Monday, March 11, 2019, the Trump Administration announced its FY2020 budget proposal, once again seeking a 31% cut to EPA and putting in jeopardy the agency’s mission and core programs. For almost 50 years, the EPA has worked to protect the air, water, and land through core programs and actions that support its mission to protect human health and the environment. Without a budget that provides adequate funding, EPA cannot fully meet these obligations. Public health and the environment in which Americans live, work and enjoy this country’s vast natural resources are at risk. To help clarify all that is at stake, EPN created this 2-page overview of EPA’s core work, as well as an analysis of the health impacts of proposed cuts to core programs, and core program fact sheets and clean water summaries.
Also in response to the Trump Administration’s proposed budget for the 2020 fiscal year, EPN produced and in-depth analysis of the budget and its inadequate funding, which results in the erosion of EPA and it mission to protect human health and the environment.
