How to Take Action
Here are some steps you can take to ensure that public interests are protected in rulemaking:
- Stay Informed: Stay up to date on regulatory changes and proposals that impact public health and safety.
- Contact Your Representatives: Reach out to your elected officials to express your concerns about deregulation and the importance of public input in decision-making.
- Participate in Public Comment Periods: When agencies open up public comment periods on proposed rules, make your voice heard and submit comments detailing your perspective and concerns.
- Support Legislation: Stay informed about legislation like the EXPERTS Act that aims to restore science-based decision-making and transparency to the regulatory process, and advocate for its passage.
- Join Advocacy Groups: Join advocacy groups that work to protect public health and safety through regulatory oversight, and support their efforts through donations or volunteer work.
By taking these actions, you can help ensure that the voices of the public are heard and that regulations are developed with the best interests of the people in mind. Together, we can work towards a more transparent and accountable regulatory process that prioritizes public health and safety over corporate interests.
