Climate disasters in NJ are getting worse - but the federal government is stepping away.
From wildfires scorching 20,000 acres, a 6-month-long drought, to deadly flooding and historic storms, New Jersey is already feeling the effects of climate change. Yet the federal government is pulling back. Under current federal administration policies, FEMA is denying aid to states—even when disaster criteria are met, proposing to change the standards to make federal aid harder to get. A recent executive order now targets local climate laws, attacking states like ours that are taking action to protect our environment and our people.
NJDEP has proposed the REAL Rules to protect our communities from future storms. We can’t rely on federal help that may never come. Governor Murphy is under tremendous pressure to abandon these rules. He needs to hear from YOU!
Please sign our petition to support the NJ PACT REAL Rules today.
Your voice matters—our future depends on it.
As Senator Bob Smith warned recently:
“This is global climate change… New Jerseyans must act now, not just for ourselves, but for our grandchildren. The future of our planet is in our hands.”
