"This is another all-out attack on our fundamental rights from the Trump Administration. Congress knew the value of giving ordinary people the right to protect their communities from illegal pollution when they passed the Clean Air Act over 50 years ago.

"This isn't about national security; it's a desperate attempt to protect wealthy corporations, like xAI, from obeying our bedrock environmental laws."
About NAACP
The NAACP advocates, agitates, and litigates for the civil rights due to Black America. Our legacy is built on the foundation of grassroots activism by the biggest civil rights pioneers of the 20th century and is sustained by 21st century activists. From classrooms and courtrooms to city halls and Congress, our network of members across the country works to secure the social and political power that will end race-based discrimination. That work is rooted in racial equity, civic engagement, and supportive policies and institutions for all marginalized people. We are committed to a world without racism where Black people enjoy equitable opportunities in thriving communities.
NOTE: The Legal Defense Fund – also referred to as the NAACP-LDF – was founded in 1940 as a part of the NAACP, but now operates as a completely separate entity.
