In response to reports that Trump’s illegal executive order cut energy assistance from Alabama families, forcing hundreds to pay higher bills, Evergreen Action Executive Director Lena Moffitt released the following statement:

“Trump’s unlawful funding blockade is hurting American families across the country. This reckless move is stealing money from Alabama families just to line the pockets of his billionaire friends. His energy price hike isn’t just cruel—it’s illegal. He’s defying Congress and leaving struggling families out in the cold.

“Trump promised to slash energy prices, but it was all just a scam. Instead, he’s driving up costs and hitting the very communities that supported him the hardest. Trump is once again proving that his real priority isn’t lowering costs for working families, it’s sticking everyday Americans with higher bills while his billionaire friends get richer.”
