Lauren Jauregui is busy touring the world and recording new music with Fifth Harmony, but she still takes time to speak out about causes that are important to her. The latest target of her anger is President Trump‘s efforts to roll back environmental regulations and undo President Obama‘s attempts to battle climate change. She writes in a lengthy Instagram post, “We are ALL affected by the destruction of our planet.”
Lauren posted a photo of a brown Earth with the slogan “There are no jobs on a dead planet.” She then wrote an essay which states, in part, “The billionaires in our government don’t care that you can’t afford your medication, they don’t care that you’re getting sick because of your water, food and air being poisoned with an immense amount of chemicals.”
She adds, “Clean water, organic food and clean air is not a ‘right’ that should be advocated for, it is the natural state of the world before we industrialized humanity.”
She then calls the current political climate “a dangerous fascist era we’re in,” and warns, “There are going to be grave consequences for our children and grandchildren.”
Lauren continues, “I am angry almost every day I wake up to a barrage of new things this government is trying to dismantle and create to oppress the American people….We are ALL affected by the destruction of our planet.”
She finishes by saying, “Keep your energy light and pray all you can to Creator for the strength to help combat the overwhelming evil that has stained our country’s heart.”
In the past year or so, Lauren, a bisexual Cuban-American, has also spoke out about immigration, LGBTQ issues and women’s rights.
