Pamela, Trump's so-called "Big, Beautiful" bill, the Republican tax bill, is working its way through the Senate, and it has the potential to cause widespread harm to the everyday lives of Americans across the entire country.
That's why Climate Power is fighting back. We're educating Americans about the negative impacts this bill could have if Senate Republicans pass it. And we're mobilizing thousands of voters to take action and urge their senators to say no to this bill. We want to share with you 9 reasons we're trying to block these attacks on clean energy and our future.
Here are 9 examples of what's in this bill and how Trump's agenda is a direct threat to our climate, health, and safety:
🌎 Takes a sledgehammer to clean energy investments at a time when energy demand is spiking -- which will mean families all over the country will experience higher costs month after month.
🚰 Nixes critical climate programs that keep our air and water clean by gutting major climate programs, like Environmental Justice Block Grants used specifically for addressing issues like water access for vulnerable communities on the frontlines of climate crises.
🚗 Eliminates tax credits for electric vehicle charging stations, which will make the transition to cleaner transportation more expensive and longer to accomplish -- worsening air quality with each setback.
🏠 Cuts home energy efficiency tax credits, meaning more expensive utility bills for families who want or need to do home improvements such as insulation, home energy auditing, or upgrading their windows.
💨 Slashes credits for solar and wind, making it harder for homeowners to invest in renewable energy and save on their energy bills longterm.
🤕 Guts Medicaid, impacting at least 7.6 million people who depend on it for healthcare, and likely more given other changes to the Affordable Care Act.
🍽️ Reduces SNAP spending and food assistance benefits by nearly $300 billion, the largest cut to SNAP in history.
⛰️ Sells our public lands to the highest bidder by mandating that 120 million acres of our public lands be sold off in the next 5 years.
💰 And all this to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, while working families bear the brunt of higher costs.
Pamela, there's still a chance to stop the dangerous Republican budget bill from passing -- and it starts with educating voters about its many, many negative impacts through the list above.
