Prepping cities for climate chaos isn't "woke," but Team Trump is killing EPA resiliency grants

EPA has canceled or interrupted hundreds of grants aimed at improving health and severe weather preparedness.

Thomasville , Georgia , has some of the highest exposure risks in Georgia to toxic air pollutants that can cause respiratory, reproductive, and developmental health problems.

The EPA says the grant applications "no longer support administration priorities".

Thomasville and Athens officials say they're appealing their grant terminations.

They're also reaching out to their elected officials, hoping that pressure from their senators and members of Congress can get them the federal money they were promised.

Other cities and nonprofits, as well as a group of Democratic state attorneys general, have sued, arguing that terminating their grants without proper procedures is illegal.
