“At a Dinner, Trump Assailed Climate Rules and Asked $1 Billion From Big Oil”
The New York Times, 5/9/24
Donald Trump invited executives and lobbyists to dinner in Mar-a-Lago, asking them for campaign funding and promising to dismantle the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
The IRA—Biden’s landmark climate legislation—made big investments in climate resilience and brought together different weights of the Democratic party under one successful law. If Trump is elected for a second term, destroying our climate progress is at the top of his to-do list.
Trump’s corrupt fundraising tactics underscore the importance of climate progress led by progressive leaders like Brad. While far-right politicians court Big Oil to pad their campaign coffers with corporate cash, Brad Lander has been confronting the climate crisis head-on:
- Led New York City public pension funds in adopting the most ambitious plan in the country to reach net zero emissions by 2040
- Spearheaded Public Solar NYC, a public option for rooftop solar that makes renewable energy accessible to low-income New Yorkers
- Pushed Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Royal Bank of Canada to agree to disclose their fossil fuel versus clean energy funding ratios
There is no greater, more urgent threat than climate change. If you’re able, please make a contribution of any amount today to help Brad continue fighting to protect our planet.
