February 18, 2026: Petition Filed!

18 young people across the country have filed a petition, asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to reverse EPA’s rescission of the 2009 Endangerment Finding. They argue that the rule is unlawful and unconstitutional by unleashing pollution that injures their fundamental rights when the agency’s singular job is to control and limit pollution harmful to their lives. The petition asks the court to ensure that EPA’s actions are lawful and consistent with constitutional protections, and to prevent further harms to health, safety, and fundamental liberties.
