Washington DC<\/strong> \u2013 In his joint address to Congress, President Donald Trump reaffirmed his policies that will roll back environmental protections, raise costs for working-class families, and reverse progress toward a clean renewable energy economy, while taking pride in the actions his administration has already taken to weaken climate and public health safeguards. His remarks reinforced concerns that his administration will continue to prioritize the interests of corporate polluters over public health, environmental justice, and the community well-being of those on the frontlines of the climate crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Trump\u2019s inauguration, more than 42,000 clean energy jobs<\/a> have been stopped or stalled, that's over 1,000 jobs every day, representing a loss of $57 billion in investments across 64 projects. His proposed tariffs threaten to raise gas prices by at least 15 cents per gallon, while electricity prices are projected to reach their highest level since the 1990s<\/a>. These consequences, combined with potential rollbacks of environmental safeguards, would further burden working-class Americans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Maga\u00f1a, Founding President & CEO of GreenLatinos, issued the following statement: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast night\u2019s address reaffirmed that Trump\u2019s agenda prioritizes polluters over the well-being of working-class communities. His actions have stalled the clean energy transition, increased costs for working families, and undermined our nation's progress. Frontline communities, which disproportionately suffer from air pollution, extreme weather, and rising costs, will bear the brunt of these policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite these setbacks, we remain steadfast in our commitment to progress. Across the country, states and local leaders continue to lead the way in protecting our public health. GreenLatinos and our partners will continue to advocate for climate action at all levels, ensuring that no administration can halt the momentum towards a just and sustainable future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
