	Rashida Tlaib on Environment

Fight to cleanup environment and undo EPA's budget cuts

Here in Southeast Michigan we've got a lot of big polluters getting away with poisoning our community. They think because we're not the richest communities, and because of the color of our skin, that they can get away with it. But I'm raising my family in this community and I'm not going to let them poison our air and pollute our water and dump waste on our soil. I'll fight to undo the cuts the Trump Administration has made to the EPA's budget and hold polluters accountable. Source: 2018 Congress MI-13 election website RashidaForCongress.com , Oct 9, 2018

Fight invasive species & pollution in the Great Lakes

Q: How would your policies would affect the future of the Great Lakes.

Rashida Tlaib: Water issues are as important in Michigan as anywhere--I've spoken out against poor Detroiters having their water turned off and against the greed that caused the Flint catastrophe. The Great Lakes define who we are as Michiganders, and we need to fight invasive species, pollution, and greedy companies like Nestle. We need to fully fund the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, and we need to shut down Line 5.
