🚨 Breaking: Oregon Delays Clean Air Progress—Tell Legislators to Act Now


JUST IN: As of yesterday, the Oregon leaders decided on a major setback to clean air and climate progress. They announced a two-year delay to the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule.

This delay comes after relentless lobbying by Big Oil and national truck manufacturers—and it’s our communities who will bear the consequences: more diesel pollution, more asthma, more climate harm.

This is unacceptable. The Oregon Legislature must act NOW.

🛑 Delaying the ACT rule removes the regulatory teeth we need to hold truck manufacturers accountable.

🚛 Without bold investments, Oregon becomes a dumping ground for dirty diesel trucks.

🌍 Communities on the frontlines of pollution need relief—not more delays.

→ Email your legislators today: Tell them to fund clean truck rebates and charging infrastructure as part of the transportation package. We need investments that protect health, grow jobs, and drive Oregon’s clean transportation future—not rollbacks that reward polluters.

With just weeks remaining in the 2025 session, lawmakers must use the transportation package to double down on clean truck investments– rebates, charging infrastructure, and cleaner air for the communities hit hardest by diesel pollution. At a time when federal protections and funding are under attack, Oregon has a choice: lead the way with bold investment in public health and clean energy jobs.
