We Just Won a MAJOR Public Lands Victory in California - Let's Keep the Momentum Going!
Following years of advocacy by local activists and more than 10,000 Sierra Club supporters, President Biden just announced the expansion of California's majestic San Gabriel Mountains and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monuments. This is a huge win for area communities and brings the state closer to its climate resilience goals – but with many more crucial ecosystems nationwide facing the grave threats of overdevelopment and climate change, we can't stop there.
Tell President Biden now: Keep going! We need more protections for our nation's incredible public lands.

We’re Fighting in Court to Protect Gray Wolves – Can You Help?
Defenseless gray wolves are being tortured, baited, and trapped across the Northern Rockies region as state leaders make it easier for hunters to use cruel tactics against these iconic animals. The Sierra Club has joined more than a dozen conservation organizations in suing the US Fish and Wildlife Service to restore critical endangered species protections to these wolves before they’re driven back to the brink of extinction.
Make a gift to the Sierra Club today to help defend wolves and strengthen our grassroots campaigns pressuring Congress to do more for endangered species.
