Join Tomorrow's Virtual Climate Action Hour

With Trump in office, a lot of us are asking: What now? Things are overwhelming and chaotic, and it can be hard to know how to fight back.

In just one online gathering a month, you can get the most important updates on Trump's agenda, learn what it means for the climate and environment, and take meaningful steps to defeat it.

Tell Tech Companies to Demand Clean Energy
With the explosive growth of AI data centers and high-tech industries, we're seeing a massive surge in energy demand that is putting our climate goals even more at risk. Many of these companies claim to be climate leaders, yet they’re still relying on coal and gas from their utilities. With Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in the House and Senate, targeting private companies is an important way for us to push for change. Tell tech companies to demand 100 percent clean energy.

Grizzly Bear Protections Are Under Attack
Earlier this month, the US Fish and Wildlife Service decided to continue protecting grizzly bears under the Endangered Species Act. This was a big victory, but the work is far from over. The agency just opened up a public comment period about changing how grizzly bears are managed, which includes harmful moves like allowing some bears to be hurt or killed. Send in a comment to the Fish and Wildlife Service asking them to strengthen protections, not weaken them.

Protect Green Jobs
Despite Trump's claims that he will help working families, he has already started attacking clean manufacturing jobs by ordering a freeze on climate funding and offshore wind projects. This is just the latest example of politicians and oil and gas billionaires valuing corporate profits over everyday people. Standing up to these attacks and protecting clean manufacturing jobs is critical, and we need your help. Add your name in support of green jobs while protecting our communities and environment!

We Are Powerful Together: Our Plan to Fight Back
Last Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people (including 75,000 in DC) took to the streets to send a clear message: No matter what Trump and his billionaire buddies do, we will continue to choose each other. This mobilization was a powerful testament to the Sierra Club's strength as a grassroots organization, powered by thousands of volunteers, strong state chapters and local groups, and YOU. 

The next four years under Donald Trump will challenge us to be stronger than ever before. We are ready to take the fight to the courts, Congress, and communities nationwide -- but we can't do it alone. Will you chip in today to power our efforts and protect our shared future?

The Federal Safety Net for Disaster Survivors Is Increasingly Uncertain
As Angelenos wonder how they’ll rebuild and recover from two of the most destructive fires in American history, the extent of federal support remains unclear.
