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 and 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!

Write your senators now to demand they oppose fossil fuel handouts!

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.
