As a tumultuous 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking stock of how federal actions have impacted our work at MEIC this year. From green-lighting coal mines to deregulating nuclear energy, we have our work cut out for us in trying to protect our clean and healthful environment. In this webinar, hear from MEIC Executive Director Anne Hedges and our attorneys Melissa Hornbein (Western Environmental Law Center) and Jenny Harbine (Earthjustice) about their take on what’s happening at the federal level, what we’re doing about it, and what comes next.
