Over the weekend, Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation in the Southeast, and left more than 100 people dead and communities reeling. From record-breaking climate disasters to rising threats from extremist plots like Project 2025 -- it's a lot to hold all at once. The climate crisis, driven by the continued burning of fossil fuels, is causing weather events like this one to be more frequent and more intense. 

We must take bold climate action.

Join us for a livestream with Sierra Club experts to make sense of the moment, learn what this means for the climate and our future, and how to get involved.

Dear Friend,

As we stand on the cusp of a new administration, we at Sierra Club have been taking stock of where we are – the victories, the opportunities, and the threats that we face, and how we can make sense of the current moment. 

Over the last four years, the climate movement has made incredible strides to protect both people and the planet. Thanks to powerful grassroots organizing, the Biden-Harris Administration took more than 300 actions to protect the environment and combat climate change, including passing the historic 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Its passage put us on a path to cutting climate pollution 40 percent by 2030, while creating nine million family-sustaining jobs. And just last month, we reached a major clean-energy milestone with wind and solar energy generation becoming on track to outpace coal for all of 2024. 

But we also face growing threats from worsening climate impacts and extremist plots like Project 2025, the 920-page playbook for a future administration that would dismantle our democracy and put the health and safety of our climate, our families, and future generations in jeopardy. Our progress hangs in the balance. 


On October 9, Sierra Club leadership will host a livestream about how we’re making sense of the current moment.

Alongside its horrifying plans to destroy bodily autonomy, education, public health,  and more, Project 2025 would be game over for climate progress. Project 2025 aims to gut the environmental policies implemented under the current administration and would put pro-fossil fuel giveaways ahead of climate action.

And in the wake of Hurricane Helene, we can see even more clearly how unconscionable it would be to dismantle the federal weather agencies critical to tracking hurricanes and coordinating disaster response. This is life-saving information that our communities rely on to protect people from extreme weather.

It's scary. It's confusing. It's a lot. How can we hold onto hope and progress alongside the anxieties and very real threats?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, we hope you'll join us next Wednesday as we gather to make sense of the current moment, talk about what this all means for the climate movement, and chart a path forward together.
