Tell the Senate: Let’s protect West Virginia’s lands, health, and clean energy future

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) recently passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is now being considered by the Senate. The bill includes provisions that could significantly affect West Virginia’s communities, environment, and healthcare system.

If passed:

Oil and gas drilling would expand on public lands, polluting the places we love.
Protections that prevent the construction of roads through vital habitats, such as the Ambler Road through Alaska’s Brooks Range, would be removed
Clean energy incentives that save families money would vanish.
Rural hospitals like Welch Community Hospital could shut down.
65,000 West Virginians would lose their health insurance.

These provisions will increase pollution and harm West Virginians at the same time as the bill removes folks from health insurance and risks rural hospitals. So, while pollution goes up, access to care goes down.

Clean and safe drinking water is as imperative to public health as access to affordable and reliable healthcare. That's why we’re calling on Senators to remove these dangerous provisions — and protect West Virginia’s future.

Subject: Protect Public Lands, Public Health, and Climate – Say NO to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Message:

Thanks to leaders in the Senate for standing up for public lands and removing the sale of public lands from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The bill still eliminates key protections for places like the Boundary Waters and opens the door to unchecked drilling and pollution on public lands. As a proud supporter of clean water, public lands, and healthy communities, I urge you to reject the harmful provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The House version of this budget reconciliation bill threatens our state’s most treasured resources and our most vulnerable people: + Public Lands: The bill still eliminates key protections for places like the Boundary Waters and opens the door to unchecked drilling and pollution on public lands. + Public Health: This bill cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and $500 billion from Medicare. In a state where nearly a third of us rely on Medicaid, these cuts are life-threatening. At-risk hospitals like Welch Community Hospital could close their doors, leaving people without access to care, particularly as pollution -- and climate-driven illnesses -- increase. + Climate & Clean Water: OBBBA guts funding for pollution cleanup in schools and communities, ends clean energy incentives, and fast-tracks fossil fuel projects. The result? More toxic air, more water contamination, and fewer resources to protect our families. It’s unconscionable to take away healthcare from people while increasing pollution in our air and water. We need solutions that move us forward, not policies that put lives at risk for political gain. Please protect the people and places of West Virginia. Say NO to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
