Climate Power Releases New Video in Project 2025 Series Featuring Big Freedia

Washington, D.C. – Today, Climate Power released the newest installment in its “Too Hot Not To Vote” campaign, starring Grammy-winning bounce music icon Big Freedia. In the video, Big Freedia calls on young voters to make a plan to vote this November, with a focus on stopping Donald Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda. As communities face extreme weather with Hurricane Milton making landfall on Florida’s west coast, Freedia highlights the dangers of Trump’s plan, which would force Americans to pay for crucial weather alerts that are currently helping people in states like Florida make life-or-death decisions.
“[Trump] wants to put lifesaving weather advisories that we rely on behind a paywall,” said Big Freedia. “We have to bounce-bounce-bounce on down to the polls and vote for Kamala.”
Big Freedia, known as the ‘Queen of Bounce’ and a leading artist in the Southern music scene, was awarded the Key to the City of New Orleans this August. She has been instrumental in bringing bounce music to mainstream audiences, collaborating with artists like Beyonce, Charlie XCX, and Lil Wayne. As a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and racial equity, Freedia’s bold artistry and activism continue to inspire self-expression and push for social change.
Big Freedia’s involvement reinforces Climate Power’s goal of mobilizing young voters, raising awareness on what is at stake in this election, and standing up against Big Oil companies and the corporate interests driving Project 2025—a plan that threatens to dismantle critical environmental protections and will destroy whatever is left of our climate for generations to come.
As Election Day approaches, the stakes couldn’t be higher: Vice President Kamala Harris understands that climate change is an existential crisis affecting lives and homes across the nation. In stark contrast, Donald Trump, a known climate change denier, is pushing Project 2025—a plan that threatens to exacerbate environmental degradation by dismantling pollution controls and public land protections.
The “Too Hot Not To Vote” campaign is a voter engagement initiative designed to educate, motivate, and mobilize young voters to support climate and clean energy champions like Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the 2024 elections.
