The young people suing to block President Donald Trump’s efforts to bolster oil, gas and coal got a boost of their own with the introduction of a congressional resolution that calls for reversing Trump’s energy-related executive orders.

The resolution — which House and Senate Democrats unveiled Wednesday — calls for the recognition that children face a climate emergency and that Congress and the executive branch “have a duty to constrain government actions that harm young people’s lives.”

The support comes after 22 young people from five states filed suit against the administration in May, challenging as unconstitutional a trio of Trump’s executive orders that seek to provide a fast path for fossil fuel production.
