Pamela, it's been a winter of extreme weather -- wildfires in California, bitter cold temperatures through much of the West, record snowstorms as far south as New Orleans, and devastating floods in Kentucky.
And none of that has stopped DOGE from firing staff at agencies that protect Americans, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and our National Parks.
Here's how we got here:
Donald Trump put Project 2025 in motion, signing a series of executive orders to block Congressionally-approved funding and tasking Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, and his official DOGE team, with slashing and burning critical funding for government agencies.
Now, they've turned their attention to FEMA and NOAA, jeopardizing our country's ability to predict and respond in emergencies and extreme weather disasters.
They could even dismantle and privatize the National Weather Service, which could put a paywall between Americans and the basic ability to check the weather.
Pamela, this does nothing to improve "government efficiency." The climate crisis is at our door. We need fully funded and staffed agencies to efficiently predict climate disasters and protect communities from danger.
We won't stand idly by and watch this happen -- and we hope you won't either.
Climate Power is going to do everything we possibly can to stop their efforts and stand up for Americans' safety in the face of the climate crisis. A donation of $25 or more today makes work like this possible. Can you pitch in?
