Washington, DC – The Associated Press declared this morning that former president Donald J. Trump has won the presidential election. In response, Moms Clean Air Force Director and Co-Founder Dominique Browning released the following statement:
“This election has delivered the worst possible outcomes for our fight to cut fossil fuel pollution. It is a staggering—and dangerous—defeat. But when it comes to our children, mothers know how to go into Warrior Mode, and that is exactly where you will find members of Moms Clean Air Force in the years ahead.
“Everything we fought so hard to achieve is imperiled under a president who thinks climate change is a hoax. The Biden administration, with some bipartisan support, jump-started a historic, transformative era with deep investments in clean energy and transportation. The Environmental Protection Agency has strengthened clean air protections. But even with an administration willing to respond to a crisis—the dangers of which we are living with daily across the country—extreme weather, prolonged drought, record-breaking heat waves and continual flooding—we have always had so much more work to do, with urgency.
“We will fight to hold the line to which our progress moved over the last four years. We will be up against a president and an administration with exactly zero interest in a strong and protective EPA—much less any interest in protecting our children from the assault on the stability and health of our world. We are heartsore now. We must take time to grieve, understand what happened, and restore hope and energy. At Moms Clean Air Force, we have built up a vibrant, dedicated, trusted community of people whose values are shared. We will continue to work together. And we will never give up.”
