Final Countdown: One Week Left To Send Letters to Undecided Voters

This is the moment to ask ourselves: What can each of us do to make a difference in the election? Sierra Club volunteers have requested 60,000 letters to send to undecided voters in swing states. Can you help us get to 75,000? Every letter sent could make the difference in who shows up to vote or who stays home. Letters need to be mailed by October 29, so join us to make these final days count. 

Write letters to defeat Trump and protect our future!

How Dirty Is Your Utility?

We just released this year’s Dirty Truth Report, examining the climate pledges of 50 heavily fossil-fuel-invested utility companies. Even though clean energy is more affordable and accessible than ever before, utilities are doubling down on gas. What utilities do -- or don’t do -- over the next decade will determine whether we make the climate crisis worse or make the transition to clean energy.

Find out how your utility measures up.

Tell the Senate to Expand Outdoor Access For All

Right now, the Senate is considering a bipartisan recreation bill that would promote equity, inclusion, and expanded access to the outdoors for all Americans. Access to nature is a human right, but too many kids aren’t able to spend time in the outdoors.

Take action now to tell the Senate to pass the EXPLORE Act before the next administration takes office!

More of Our Tax Money Going to Corporate Polluters?

Senators John Barrasso and Joe Manchin, who have taken more money from the oil and gas industry than any other lawmaker in DC, are now rushing a dirty deal through Congress that would be a massive giveaway to their fossil fuel donors. This legislation 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!

Applying Indigenous Values to Restoration Ecology

Honoring Indigenous people in land management decisions means prioritizing Indigenous values, such as reciprocity and respect for nonhuman and even nonliving beings. Jennifer Grenz, a Nlaka’pamux restoration ecologist, runs a lab focused on decolonizing ecology at the University of British Columbia. Her work reminds us that restoration isn't just conservation, it's also about the relationship between humans and the land.

As Climate Warms, More Are Asking: Should I Have Kids?

Whether to start a family is one of the most momentous and life-changing decisions a person can make. Factor in climate change and it gets really complicated—the perils we face from ongoing fossil fuel use and rising temperatures have made family-making even more fraught. No parent wants their child to suffer.
