Even while the country is in the midst of the unprecedented COVID-19 health emergency, the Trump administration has taken the time to roll back vehicle emission standards, throwing out critical public health and environmental protections that were meant to benefit all of us.

Unfortunately, General Motors, Toyota, and other automakers have sided with the Trump administration's attack on clean car standards and the Clean Air Act.

These automakers formally filed in court to support the Trump administration's illegal and dangerous attack on state authority, clean air, and climate progress. This move ignores the science-based consensus on the urgent need to reduce global warming emissions. Not all automakers have taken this harmful step. BMW, Ford, Honda, and Volkswagen have committed to more protective clean car standards.

Tell the automakers to reverse course and stop attacking clean car standards!

Clean car standards enjoy support from the majority of Americans who want cleaner air, a stable climate, and to save money at the gas pump. State authority to carry out more protective clean car standards has a decades-long record of bi-partisan support. If the Trump administration succeeds in rolling back clean car standards, it would lead to billions of tons of additional pollution, cost Americans about $460 billion in lost fuel savings, and prevent the creation or cause the elimination of between 89,000 and 202,000 jobs nationally.

 General Motors, Toyota, and other automakers have sided with the Trump administration's attack on clean car standards and the Clean Air Act. Sign this petition telling these automakers to reverse course.

We/ I strongly disapprove of your company's support of the Trump administration's illegal and dangerous attack on state authority, clean air, consumer savings, and climate progress. Your company picked the wrong side—lining up against what's best for my family's health, our planet, and my wallet.

Now is the time for your company to reverse course and reject President Trump's misguided attempt to roll back the clean car standards and attack state authority. We call on your company to immediately withdraw from the litigation against state clean car standards and invest in innovation instead of litigation. We need cleaner cars—not Trump's indefensible and dangerous rollback.
