About this Petition Pledge

We need your help now to stop the fox from guarding the henhouse when it comes to destructive mining across the country.

Tell your senator: Reject the nomination of Joseph Pizarchik as director of the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement. As a regulator of coal mining in Pennsylvania, Pizarchik has a long history of making pro-industry decisions at the expense of protecting communities and the environment.

In a controversial vote last week, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee confirmed Pizarchik, even as calls for the White House to withdraw the nomination mounted from environmental groups and hundreds of concerned citizens from coal-mining states.

There is still time to stop this pro-industry regulator from taking over the federal agency charged with protecting communities and natural systems from the impacts of coal mining. Contact your senator now and demand the rejection of the Pizarchik nomination.
