Institutions, laws and regulations that are fundamental to democracy and to the protection of environment, health and well-being are being rapidly dismantled in the US. It is critical that we -- in contrast -- stand strong behind the full, fair, universal application of thoughtfully developed laws and processes to ensure that development serves societal good.
