First And Only Time Green Gets Out In Front Of Trump Is To Defend Their Funding
I’ve been ranting for months about the need for environmental groups and State officials to recognize the dangers of Trump and circle the wagons and get out in front of Trump – i.e. take action BEFORE Trump does in an effort to derail or minimize damage.
The traditional campaign of Issue Reports, press releases, organizing, protest events, direct action et al can generate negative media coverage and spur political pushback that can slow Trump down or reduce the damage of his dictates.
Those recommendations have been ignored and as a result, environmental groups, media and State officials have been forced to react to Trump and rely almost exclusively on case by case litigation.
So today I was surprised to read – for the first time as far as I know – the Big Green groups and media anticipate and get out front of Trump!
But what issue did they focus on?
Their FUNDING, see:
Environmental groups are bracing for the Trump administration to potentially target their tax-exempt status, a move that could come down on Earth Day, this coming Tuesday, according to reporting from multiple outlets published Wednesday.
No further comment can convey my disgust.
