In response to Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech tonight accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, Evergreen Action Executive Director Lena Moffitt released the following statement:

“Vice President Harris is a proven climate champion who will defeat Donald Trump and secure a better future for all Americans. Tonight, she showed us why we can trust her to fight for our future in the White House—she’s been fighting for the people her entire career. She cast the tie-breaking vote for the most important climate bill in American history, and she knows how to take the fight to Big Oil and win for communities. Kamala Harris will be ready on day one to build on the historic climate legacy of the last four years. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is auctioning off climate and energy policy to corporate polluters. We won’t go back to a climate denier in the Oval Office. Americans deserve the freedom to live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis—and that’s exactly what Kamala Harris will deliver as president. In 74 days, climate voters will turn out to deliver a victory for Kamala Harris and four more years of bold climate action.”
