Sun Day Responds to Trump’s Attempt to Kill $7B in Solar Grants: “A Direct Attack on American Families”

(WASHINGTON, DC) — Today, it was reported that the Trump administration is preparing to cancel $7 billion in federal grants intended to help low- and moderate-income families access rooftop and community . The decision would eliminate the for All program, a cornerstone of recent federal efforts to lower costs and expand access to clean .

 

In response, Jamie Henn, spokesperson for the Sun Day campaign, issued the following statement:

“The Trump Administration is punishing American families just to give another handout to Big Oil. Building more rooftop solar is the fastest and cheapest way we can reduce bills while combating . That’s why we’re seeing such a growing movement around clean despite this administration’s attempts to squash it.

This $7 billion program was about putting into the hands of working families. Canceling it means higher bills, more pollution, and fewer options for the people who need relief the most. It’s a cruel move that runs counter to what people actually support. Americans overwhelmingly back clean energy, and if anything, this kind of political maneuver is only pushing more momentum toward a mass movement like Sun Day. And come September 21, we’ll prove it.”


 

Sun Day is a national day of action taking place on September 21, 2025, to celebrate the promise of clean energy and demand large-scale deployment of solar, wind, and battery storage technologies already available across the U.S.
