FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Citizens’ Climate Lobby statement on 2024 election results

November 6, 2024, Washington, D.C. – Rachel Kerestes, Executive Director of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, issued the following statement in response to the 2024 election results:

The American people have spoken. In January, president-elect Donald Trump and, likely, a Republican-controlled Congress will take office. 

We are clear-eyed about the challenge this result presents for climate action. This moment in American politics will require a lot from climate advocates. It will require a vigorous, focused defense of what our movement has achieved so far. At the same time, it will require a willingness to find opportunities to achieve additional, meaningful progress.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby is ready to meet this moment. Our long history of working respectfully across the aisle means we have earned a seat at the table with lawmakers in both parties. Even now, we are well positioned to make progress on evidence-based climate solutions. With the support of our dedicated staff and grassroots volunteers nationwide, we intend to do just that.
