Last year, Toyota, General Motors, Fiat Chrysler and other automakers announced that they would side with the Trump administration's efforts to gut the Clean Car Standards AND revoke the authority of California and other states to set clean vehicle standards and protect public health.

The transportation sector is the largest source of global warming pollution in the U.S. and a major contributor to smog. When we need to be working toward eliminating climate pollution from automobiles, these automakers are trying to put clean cars in reverse. This is absolutely unacceptable, but unless we start speaking up, it will happen.

As one important step in speaking up, IPL drafted a petition to the automakers. Now we need more people of faith and conscience to sign on to demonstrate public support and the moral call to continue building more fuel efficient, safe, clean cars.

CLICK HERE TO TELL TOYOTA, GENERAL MOTORS, AND FIAT CHRYSLER TO SUPPORT CLEAN CAR STANDARDS.

We know that auto companies are susceptible to public pressure, so let's make sure the companies hear from us. Like their past resistance to installing seat belts and catalytic converters, this refusal to build more efficient vehicles will be a shameful mark on these companies' history.

The clean cars rollback is an immoral decision to put profits and politics over people and the health of our planet.

PLEASE JOIN US IN TELLING TOYOTA, GENERAL MOTORS, AND FIAT CHYRSLER TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
