Donald Trump's re-election is already emboldening the most extremist elements within Peter Dutton’s Coalition.
In the aftermath of the result Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has declared “net zero is dead” and that Trump’s victory means “we can all say what we think again.”
Dutton has already threatened to abandon the Paris Agreement, and Coalition extremists are pushing to undermine Australia’s commitment to reproductive rights.
Political commentators are in agreement that there’s a high chance of minority government at the next election.
Every pro-climate community independent who sits on the crossbench after the next election is another line of defence against Dutton’s climate policy.
Right now, there are more than a dozen community independents in urgent need of resources to scale up their campaigns.
Every dollar you donate will directly support community independents.
The US election shows that we can’t afford to be complacent.
Right now, so many people who care deeply about climate action and reproductive rights will be reeling from the result in the US. It is heart-breaking, but we cannot be shocked into inaction.
If you know anybody who is looking to do something in light of the news from the states, use the share buttons below and ask your friends to chip in to support pro-climate independents, too.

We’re frustrated and embarrassed with the lack of meaningful action at the federal level in Australia to address the Climate Emergency. We strongly feel there is a need for more people in the federal government that have the integrity and the independence to act in the interests of future generations. Please join us in supporting the work being done by Climate 200 at this pivotal point.
