🚨 NEW: The EPA is proposing to weaken methane pollution protections, putting Latino families at greater risk.
The proposal would roll back key safeguards for the oil and gas industry, threatening public health, worsening climate change, and shifting costs onto frontline communities.
Here's what's at stake. 🧵

What's at risk?
The EPA is proposing to:
❌ Eliminate the Super Emitter Program.
❌ Weaken requirements for certain low-producing oil and gas wells.
❌ Loosen restrictions on flaring and other pollution controls.
The 2024 methane standards were projected to prevent 58 MILLION tons of methane pollution through 2038.

📍 From New Mexico to Colorado and Texas, Latino families are already living with the consequences of oil and gas pollution.
Approximately 1.6 million Latinos live within half a mile of oil and gas wells.
As we highlighted in our earlier statement, these communities deserve stronger protections, not more pollution.

The Trump admin’s proposed rollbacks would eliminate 87% of U.S. highly protected ocean waters. Deep sea mining, industrial fishing pose a devastating 21% loss in high-level marine protection globally.

Look, people make a living keeping National Park campgrounds open. But Secretary Burgum is allowing his boss's vanity projects use up the $ that should pay for their wages and supplies to cut down healthy trees in DC. For real? greenlatinos.org/tree-downin…

Guadalupe Mountains National Park turns 60 today! Interior Secretary Burgum's gift to La Sierra Guadalupe? Downgraded maintenance projects. 👎He de facto cancelled water line repair at Pine Springs Campground & updates for septic tanks and vault toilets parkwide. #NationalParks

I'll make this as simple and clear as possible: data centers do not belong in our national parks. Our public lands are for the public. They belong to the people, not big tech or Donald Trump.
The fire sale of our lands to big tech to create data centers is a travesty, and I am ready to fight it when Democrats take back the House this November. My colleagues and I are already demanding answers from Secretary Burgum.
The rapid pace of data center expansion is a strain on our communities and is a burden as they raise your electrical bills and consume our water. We must put guardrails and regulations in place to protect our lands from those who wish to exploit them.

🌺California's public lands carry stories of family, migration, work, culture, and community.
For generations, Latino communities have helped shape and care for California's parks, forests, deserts, waterways, and historic places. But barriers to outdoor access - including fear and uncertainty around immigration enforcement - can still affect whether families feel safe and welcome in these shared spaces.
Join California Secretary for Natural Resources Wade Crowfoot for our next Secretary Speaker Series: Sin Miedo - Celebrating Latino Culture, Nature, and Community.
We'll hear from Latino leaders about community, representation, access to nature and the work underway to make California's public lands welcoming for everyone.

🌊 Offshore fossil fuel extraction can put marine ecosystems at risk, releasing oil, industrial waste, and toxic substances into the environment. And the impacts don’t stop at the water. They can affect the health and livelihoods of coastal communities, too.
