We hope you can make it to the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on Tuesday, November 28 at 10:30 am to support clean cars and clean trucks? We need you to help push this important decision through!

On November 28th at 11am the legislature's Regulation Review Committee will hold a meeting at the Legislative Office Building, Room 1E, from in Hartford on the adoption of clean cars and clean trucks regulations, aka the Advanced Clean Cars II (ACCII) and Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulations.

A Koch brothers front group is riling up opposition to this common sense regulation, Republicans and the oil industry are spreading lies, misleading the public and working to set Connecticut back years in fighting the climate crisis.  

They are claiming the new regulations would be a ban on gas cars–which is a lie; they would ban the sale of new gas cars and even then not for at least another decade. Connecticut has the worst air quality in the region, and tailpipe pollution from cars and trucks make up nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. This is bad for our planet and our air, with the worst impacts in low-income and minority neighborhoods.

Stop the the fossil fuel industry and Koch Brothers driven lies regarding the current decision being considered by the Regulatory Review Committee. Industry will be at the hearing on November 28th and we need to be too.

We've all worked hard to get to this point, and are now building up to this critical meeting with op-eds, action alerts, and phone calls to the members of the committee. It is really important to fill the room with 50 or so supporters on the day of the meeting. There is no public portion of the meeting, so it is simply being present in the room.

Can you be there? Will you bring others with you? Please let us know as soon as you can, RSVP today.

Senator Lucy Dathan. "“At the end of day, these rules that we’re talking about don’t require anyone to buy an EV or take away a car or truck that people already own and it does not regulate these vehicles,” she said. “There’s a lot of misinformation going on and it’s important to get accurate information out there.”
