Trump’s EPA is closing its scientific research arm, & firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists & scientists.
The EPA’s science office produces data on hazardous chemicals, air pollution, water quality & more.
This will make Americans more vulnerable & unhealthy.

CalEPA CNRA & Gavin forced many of our talented @capsScientists, who protect air, water & food, to leave their critical work. Our leaders say they protect communities & environment but ignore Scientists doing this work ➡️ Hypocrisy! @CalEPASecretary @WadeCrowfoot @GavinNewsom
I also frequently think about the climate catastrophe that my future children will inherit. If we are unable to fairly pay the State Scientists at the forefront of this work, will our best minds leave for other sectors?

I am constantly looking for expenses to cut out so that I can become financially stable. However, with our pay and the inflation I do not think it is possible.

CA state scientists (@capsscientists) are on year 4 without a new contract. In that time, inflation has eroded our wages ~20%.
We have affiliated with @UAW and are coming back to the bargaining table stronger and more determined to get a fair contract.
