Take Action
1) Urgent Action: Stop the Fossil Fuel Industry's Dirty Deal
[link removed]
Senators John Barrasso and Joe Manchin, who have taken more money from the oil and gas industry than anyone else in DC, are rushing a dirty deal through Congress that would be a massive giveaway to their fossil fuel donors. Tomorrow, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will vote on "permitting reform" legislation that, if passed, will open up federal lands and waters to more oil and gas leasing and drilling and rush the review of proposed gas export projects.
Write your Senators now to demand they oppose fossil fuel handouts!

2) Join Rep. Ro Khanna to Learn How You Can Help 'Green' the Industrial Sector
[link removed]
Crucial building materials like steel are still mostly produced using coal power, and contribute about nine percent of the total human-made carbon dioxide emissions globally. These old, inefficient plants harm the climate and put workers at risk from toxic pollution. Clean manufacturing can help us build a strong economy, create good jobs, and clean up our air and water.
Join us tomorrow, July 31, at our virtual Town Hall to discuss the future of a green and equitable industrial sector!

Support Our Work
VICTORY! Sierra Club has now secured the retirement of 385 coal plants.
[link removed]
Last week the City of Painesville, Ohio announced it will be retiring its municipal coal plant by 2030. This is the 385th coal plant to announce retirement since the launch of the Beyond Coal Campaign in 2010, but our work is far from over. We still need your help to mobilize our movement to shut down coal plants, fight climate change, and build a clean, sustainable future for all.
Will you make a gift to help us shut down 14 more before the end of the year?

2) North Atlantic Right Whales Are Dying at Alarming Rates
North Atlantic right whales journey over 1,000 miles in their quest for food. In doing so, they risk fatal ship strikes and entanglements with ropes, threats that have pushed this species, now numbering fewer than 360 individuals, to the brink of extinction. Now, the Biden administration and scientists are advocating for new measures to help protect this rare species.
Find out why North Atlantic right whales are dying and what we can do to protect them.

3) Behind Dragonfly Research Is a Group of Eclectic Enthusiasts Holding the Field Together
Dragonflies, also called odonates, are like nature's pest control. They eat many of the insects humans hate – mosquitoes, gnats, flies. Yet, much of the current research on them is done by self-taught enthusiasts with expert-level knowledge. Tag along with one of Sierra's correspondents as she joins a community-led quest to find dragons in one of the most odonate-rich regions of the United States.
Learn more about the Dragonfly Society of the Americas and their research.
