Climate
change is no longer a distant threat; it's a reality
that impacts our lives every day. Recent storms,
including Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, have
wreaked havoc on communities, causing loss of
life and devastating destruction.
Experts
warn that these disasters are becoming increasingly
severe, and if we don't take action, the consequences
will only worsen. Unfortunately, a
terrifying plan known as Project 2025, championed by
right-wing Republicans, would exacerbate this climate
crisis.
Project 2025
attacks environmental conservation and climate justice
by planning to shut down or shrink government
agencies that could help mitigate the rapidly
imploding climate crisis. The manifesto specifically
targets the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), the National Weather Service
(NWS), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA).
Imagine a world where vital storm
warnings are locked behind a paywall, accessible only to
those who can afford it. These storm warnings aren't
even very accurate or reliable, because they don't take
climate science into account. Then, after natural
disasters, the federal government largely leaves
survivors to fend for themselves. That's
the future Project 2025
envisions.
Hurricanes Helene and
Milton have already shown us the dangers of inaction,
devastating communities in North Carolina and
Florida. If we let Project 2025 go into effect,
we will not only face harsher weather through worsening
climate change, but we will also have fewer resources to
respond effectively when disaster
strikes.
Join us in pledging
to vote for Democratic candidates in the upcoming
election! We must prevent the dangerous
implementation of Project 2025 and instead protect our
planet and its people.
