Across the world, right now, billionaires, oligarchs, and corporations are using their wealth to silence dissent, undo decades of social and environmental progress, and manipulate the game in their favour.

In the first 100 days of his second term, President Trump has actively dismantled and weakened environmental protection and gone after those who fight to protect our nature and climate, with relentless attacks on democratic institutions and public protections, putting corporate profits and power for him and his billionaire friends<\/a> ahead of people and planet and our future.<\/p>\n\n

The Trump administration has not only left the Paris Climate agreement and offered Alaskan wilderness to oil drilling<\/a>. He has also opened up pristine and protected marine ecosystems in the Pacific to industrial fishing<\/a> and wants to launch deep sea mining in US and International waters<\/a>. And while he exempted oil and gas products from the universal tariff<\/a> earlier in April, he has ended investments in clean energy and instead boosted coal, oil and gas by weakening regulations and removing obstacles to the fossil fuel industry.<\/a> [1]<\/p>\n
