REMINDER: Donald Trump’s Dangerous Project 2025 Agenda Would Gut Recovery Efforts from Climate Disasters Like Hurricane Helene

Washington, D.C. — Today, Donald Trump will be in Asheville, NC, where he’ll spew harmful disinformation for another political photo-op. Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda will gut services that support communities in preparing for and recovering from extreme weather events like Hurricane Helene. Hurricane recovery efforts were impacted after FEMA workers were threatened based on conspiracy theories.
Climate Power Executive Director Lori Lodes issued the following statement:
“Donald Trump is a climate denier and dangerous conspiracy theorist who’s willing to spread harmful disinformation to score cheap political points. If elected, Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda would gut the lifesaving services that communities impacted by disasters like Hurricane Helene rely on to recover and rebuild. Kamala Harris is the compassionate leader Americans deserve — Donald Trump is only looking out for himself and his Big Oil cronies.”
Donald Trump’s dangerous Big Oil-backed Project 2025 agenda will gut services that Americans rely on during climate disasters. That includes:
- Privatizing the National Weather Service, putting lifesaving extreme weather alerts behind a paywall.
- Decimating FEMA, hindering disaster recovery and increasing costs for communities devastated by climate disasters.
- Gutting the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program, which provides essential funding to small businesses and families to repair or rebuild following a disaster.
