A Statement from the Rev. Mitch Hescox

President/CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN)

The Trump Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with the Army Corps of Engineers, recently issued a rule rescinding the Clean Water Rule of 2015.  This is terrible news for our children.  As pro-life Christians, we stand firmly against actions by the President and his Administration that will make our water sources dirtier, as this will do.  The 30-day comment period for this proposed Trump rule that will make our water dirtier begins today, and we urge everyone to submit a comment opposing this rule.

Dear Administrator Pruitt:

I write you as President/CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) on behalf of my organization and the over 3 million pro-life Christians who have joined with us to fight for a clean environment.

Open Comment to EPA

Today, over 70 pro-life Catholic and Evangelical leaders and 450 pro-life Christians from across the country have penned an open letter to President-elect Trump asking him to reconsider and withdraw the nomination of Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and to name someone with a more even handed record of protecting human life from pollution.  The letter and its contents are below (to add your name click here).

Statement by Rev. Mitch Hescox:

Yesterday the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took an important step in the right direction on protecting our children from pollution that threatens their health.
