==Books and articles== Brockovich's first book, ''Take It from Me: Life's a Struggle But You Can Win'' ({{ISBN|978-0071383790}}), was published in 2001. A second book, ''Superman's Not Coming'',<ref>{{cite web| title= Superman's Not Coming| url= https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/555747/supermans-not-coming-by-erin-brockovich/#:~:text=About%20Superman's%20Not%20Coming&text=In%20Erin%20Brockovich's%20long%2Dawaited,government%20or%20the%20environmental%20agencies.| website= penguinrandomhouse.com| publisher= Penguin Random House| access-date= November 24, 2020}}</ref> was released on August 25, 2020. In 2021, Brockovich wrote about hormone-disrupting chemicals (such as [[Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances|PFAS]]) eroding human fertility at an alarming rate.<ref name ="brockovich-2021"> {{cite news | last1 = Brockovich | first1 = Erin | title = Plummeting sperm counts, shrinking penises: toxic chemicals threaten humanity | date = 18 March 2021 | work = The Guardian | location = London, United Kingdom | issn = 0261-3077 | url = http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/mar/18/toxic-chemicals-health-humanity-erin-brokovich | access-date = 2021-03-18 }} </ref> On February 8, 2022, Brockovich wrote an article talking about the case of [[Steven Donziger]], a lawyer who won an $18 billion judgment against Chevron before being jailed for contempt of court after refusing to turn his phone and computer over to Chevron's legal team.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/08/chevron-amazon-ecuador-steven-donziger-erin-brockovich|title=This lawyer should be world-famous for his battle with Chevron – but he's in jail|website=The Guardian|date=February 8, 2022|access-date=February 12, 2022}}</ref> On July 30 2024, a guest essay penned by Brockovich entitled "What's at Stake in November" appeared in the opinion section of ''[[The New York Times]]''. In the essay, she warns that the [[Supreme Court of the United States|United States Supreme Court]] decision in ''[[Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo]]'' "weakens the ability of regulatory agencies to do their jobs protecting the public’s health from problems such as [[per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances]]", thus opening the door for corporations to challenge long-standing [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] regulations previously upheld solely by [[Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.|''Chevron'' deference]]. The piece also refers to [[Project 2025]] and concludes with Brockovich's opinion that if [[Donald Trump]] wins the [[2024 United States Presidential election]], "Americans’ health will be at risk" due to corporations and other local authorities either challenging or altogether ignoring weakly enforced environmental protection regulations.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Brockovich |first1=Erin |title=What’s at Stake in November |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/30/opinion/erin-brockovich-pfas.html |access-date=9 April 2025 |publisher=New York Times |date=30 July 2024}}</ref>
