Trump is Back. But we Have a Plan.
Half of America did not vote for Trump. Half of America is still progressive. And during Trump’s first term, as a reaction to his extreme policies, many states and counties and cities fought back BIG TIME. They elected more progressive candidates to more offices. They passed more progressive legislation affecting the environment, the criminal justice system, and women’s reproductive rights. Simply put, we grew as a progressive movement despite Trump. And now we’ll do it again.
Stop Project 2025
You’ve heard about Project 2025. You know that, despite former President Trump’s efforts to distance himself from Project 2025, at least 28 of its 38 authors served in the Trump administration and hundreds of its proposals match Trump policies. And over 100 conservative groups helped develop the project’s controversial proposals for restructuring the federal government – e.g. firing thousands of government workers so that Republican loyalists can be installed in their place. You’ve also heard that one of Project 2025’s primary goals is to undo recent climate policy gains. Yet many people don’t know what it actually says so we’ve put together this quick summary.

Unleashing the Clean Energy Revolution through Transmission
Right now, there are at least 2,000 gigawatts of renewable energy waiting for permission to connect to power lines in the United States, which is more than the total capacity of the country’s existing power plants. Wait times to connect new power plants to the grid can reach five years or more. Without rapidly improving transmission, the United States will not be able to achieve Biden’s goal of 100% clean energy by 2035 or provide cheaper, more reliable electricity to American households. If the United States can’t build new transmission at a faster pace, roughly 80 percent of the emissions reductions expected from the Inflation Reduction Act–the largest climate legislation in U.S. history–might not happen.

EPA: Please Stop Smoking
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) keeps falling further and further behind in cutting pollution from dirty power plants nationwide. These regulatory delays mean that people get sick – especially in poor communities of color – and the planet keeps warming. EPA has the authority and the moral responsibility to issue at least eight different rules that will clean up our air and protect our health from coal and gas plants. Missed deadlines are no longer permissible. So it’s time to take action. Learn more>>

#ExxonKnew: Making Polluters Pay for Climate Change
