Friend,

The Sierra Club's September Membership Drive begins now, and we need your voice to protect the public lands we all treasure!

Our goal is simple and powerful: reach 640 new members by September 27, one for every million acres of public lands in the United States. These lands are under threat from destructive developments: attempts to revoke the Roadless Rule and open forests to clear-cut logging, oil and gas drilling in fragile ecosystems, climate change-driven wildfires and droughts, and corporate exploitation that puts profit before preservation. But together, we can stop these threats.

And we know it's possible—because just this year alone, Sierra Club members have already made a difference. With our members' support, we've:

• Stopped a massive public land sell-off — helped strip language from Congress that could have sold off up to 250 million acres.
• Took the government to court — sued after mass firings of rangers and wildfire crews, winning reinstatements to keep our parks safe.
• Defended new national monuments — stood up for Chuckwalla against lawsuits aiming to erase protections.
• Mobilized people nationwide — hosted “Public Lands Action Hours” to turn outrage into action.

Now, we need YOU with us to power the next round of victories.

For 133 years, the Sierra Club has defended wildlands and protected threatened wildlife, with our members at the core of our strength. Every membership adds another voice to speak out for our shared wild places. Every membership provides resources to pass strong laws that keep our air and water clean. Every membership helps us stand up to powerful fossil fuel corporations and the politicians who serve them.

Your dollars go beyond the fight for public lands. They fuel campaigns to combat climate change, secure a just transition to clean energy, fight for environmental justice in frontline communities, protect endangered species, and preserve outdoor access for everyone. They also connect you to a national community that cares deeply about nature, justice, and action.

There’s no time to waste. We need to reach 640 new members by National Public Lands Day to protect the places we all rely on and to power our fights for people and the planet.

Will you be one of them, friend?

Thank you for being part of this fight.

Sincerely,

Everyone at the Sierra Club
