Lisa Gets PolitikThe #NewYork Cancer Foundation just held their annual gala. And the featured honoree was #Trump EPA chief Lee Zeldin.
The same #LeeZeldin that has rolled back dozens of EPA regulations, including those which address known carcinogens.
He is LITERALLY promoting cancer.
How could a Cancer Foundation HONOR this man??
Luckily, #ClimateDefiance was there to disrupt things. And they filmed it. It's beautiful.
Climate Defiance on Instagram: "BREAKING: We just shut down a major cancer gala honoring Trump EPA Chief Lee Zeldin. Zeldin survived leukemia. Now he’s eliminating protections against the carcinogens that cause it. And a cancer foundation invited him to their gala anyway! Here’s the obscene irony: Zeldin got treatment when he needed it. Now he’s ensuring millions of Americans won’t have that chance. He is eliminating mercury standards. Gutting coal ash regulations. And rescinding the legal basis for climate action. All vile policies that increase cancer risk. He calls it “pro-business”. We call it pro-cancer. He survived leukemia and got treatment. Now his EPA is ensuring millions won’t have that chance. The hypocrisy is staggering: Toast at a cancer gala while poisoning America’s air and water with carcinogens. #FuckLeeZeldin Ready to fight back? Join us by checking out our profile. Every extra body, every extra dollar = more disrupted galas. More exposed lies. More Lee Zeldins sweating. 🗣️ by: @waltermasterson, @davidsonboswell"
