Moms’ Dominique Browning at the 2024 Play-In for Climate Action in Washington, DC.
Moms are so proud that our tireless Co-founder and Director was just named to the 2025 TIME100 Climate List for her work protecting children. This means she’s one of the most influential leaders in climate action today.
“As the U.S. has backed away in 2025 from using legislation to tackle the climate crisis, business leaders globally have pushed forward to attempt to fill the gaps. It’s a theme that proves inescapable in this year’s TIME100 Climate, our list of influential leaders driving business climate action. Around the world, decision-makers, executives, researchers, and innovators are working to help unlock the necessary funding and resources needed for successful and equitable climate action,” writes Time.
Tell EPA: Save the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
To identify this year’s changemakers, Time says its editors spent months vetting names from across sectors. “We valued measurable, scalable achievements over commitments and announcements. We favored more recent action… These 100 people represent the power of individuals to make significant progress in influencing the climate economy. We asked them to talk about it, hoping their words will stir others to do the same.”
The overall 100 includes Pope Leo, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and King Charles. Dominique is part of the “defenders” group. In an interview, she shares actions the public, companies, and government alike need to take in the next year to protect children’s health by prioritizing clean air. She also speaks about her own personal sustainability efforts she will adopt in the next year (spoiler alert: she’s getting solar panels on her house). She also shares what gives her hope about the future of the climate movement:
“What gives me hope: millions of mothers across the country are shouting out and showing up every single day to fight for climate action and clean air protections. That’s what Moms Clean Air Force is all about—securing a safe and healthy planet for all children now and for future generations. The power of Moms gives me hope: our determination to act is our antidote to the paralysis of despair.”
