California’s clean vehicle standards are among the strongest in the world, setting a course to phase out new gas-powered cars by 2035. This bold move isn’t just about California, it’s about the future of our planet.

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Without strong vehicle standards like California’s, we cannot meet critical climate targets. These rules also cut toxic air pollution, improve public health, and drive innovation across the auto industry.

The House vote to block these rules puts all of that progress in jeopardy. It’s a move backed by fossil fuel lobbyists, not scientists or doctors. It’s a vote against clean air, against a livable future, and against the leadership we need right now.

California’s plan allows for consumer choice, used cars and hybrids can still be sold, and it gives automakers time to adapt. This is a smart, phased approach that other states are choosing to follow.

We must stand up for science, for clean air, and for a future not dictated by fossil fuel executives. Tell the Senate: protect California’s clean car rules and defend our right to a healthier, more sustainable world.
