Today, as President Biden visits Maui to survey the damage from catastrophic wildfires, climate advocates and community leaders are demanding bold action from Biden, including a national climate emergency declaration, which would unlock executive powers to aggressively combat the crisis.
"I am glad that President Biden is visiting Maui today, and that he has committed to delivering everything we need to recover from these catastrophic wildfires, including FEMA funding and support – but there’s a lot more he needs to do,” said Kaniela Ing, National Director of theNetwork and a seventh-generation Kānaka Maoli from Maui.
Maui is still fighting to get its case to trial after years of fossil fuel company efforts to delay and dismiss the lawsuit, and leading advocates in the fight to hold Big Oil accountable are calling for Biden to use the trip to support this lawsuit.
