Peggy Shepard was one of the climate experts profiled by Atmos offering advice on how to move forward under the new administration. Her comments included:
“Just as we did before, we will continue to resist on all fronts. We will work with our allies to track and defend every rule and regulation they attempt to roll back. We will aggressively pursue state legislation and help others do the same. And we will work together to publicly—and, whenever possible, legally—hold the next administration accountable for the damage it does to our environment and our communities.
“Those of us in the environmental justice movement understand the joy of resistance. We can and will be part of the solution. We’ve dug in and are prepared to give them the fight of their lives. We won’t go back!”
