Join us to protest Trump and call for urgent climate action
Join us at the US embassy on Saturday 11 January 1pm to send a strong visual message ahead of Trump’s inauguration rejecting his climate denial and demanding urgent action.
As the world heats up, the window to avoid the worst impacts of climate catastrophe is rapidly closing. The US is already the world’s largest oil and gas producer. Now their federal government will be entirely in the hands of those who deny climate change and will stop at nothing to pursue profits. Even more alarming is Trump’s intention to pull the US out of the Paris climate agreement. If the wealthy, polluting US walks away from global climate negotiations, it is possible others will follow, unravelling the process.
Trump emboldens climate deniers and the far right around the world. His attacks on democracy and human rights are frightening, and we will stand in solidarity with those resisting in the US. The impact of his climate policies may be overlooked in comparison, but they threaten the homes, livelihoods and lives of billions around the world, especially in the poorest countries who have done least to cause the climate crisis.
It will be crucial how the rest of the world responds to Trump, including the UK. If countries step up to phase out fossil fuels and provide desperately needed finance to countries on the front line of climate breakdown, we have a chance. No more hypocrisy and greenwash.
In 2025 a strong, international climate movement is more important than ever. Join us to start the year how we mean to go on.
Sign up to get more details nearer the time and let us know if you can help out on the day or beforehand.
Trump on the campaign trail: “We don't have a global warming problem”. He mocked rising sea levels: “The ocean’s going to rise one eighth of an inch over the next 400 years and you’ll have more oceanfront property”. Weeks later, fuelled by abnormally warm seas, Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit the US causing over 230 deaths, and destruction estimated at around $200 billion.
