Donald Trump Continues to Spread Dangerous, Harmful Lies About Climate at NABJ Conference 

Washington, D.C. — During the National Association for Black Journalists conference in Chicago, Donald Trump disrespected NABJ members, Black communities, and Vice President Kamala Harris, spreading dangerous, harmful lies. In response, Markeya Thomas, Climate Power’s Senior Advisor for Black Engagement, released the following statement: 

“Donald Trump has been cruel to NABJ members and Black communities for years — and his remarks at NABJ are no different. He’s attacked Black journalists for doing their jobs, insensitively claimed to create ‘Black jobs’ for us, and lied about the Biden-Harris administration’s climate and clean energy progress.

“We know who Donald Trump is: a climate denier who is in the pocket of Big Oil and doesn’t care about our communities. He must be held accountable for his dangerous pro-polluter Project 2025 agenda that harms our communities first and worst.”
