Editor's Note: If you're reading this, you care about the environment. Whether your chief concern is clean air, clean water, clean energy, or protecting wildlife and wild places, one overarching goal beats all others at this moment in time: We must ensure that Joe Biden is elected and Donald J.

Mobilizing for What’s Next

There’s a lot we don’t know about what the election will bring. What we do know is that social change has always been powered by people, and it’s going to take all of us—prepared, connected, and giving it everything we’ve got—to meet this moment. Join us on Thursday for a mass live-streamed call hosted by Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune to hear from the national staff leading our work to defeat Donald Trump and defend democracy.

Plan to Win

Our "Plan to Win" outreach this election season is the largest political mobilization in the Sierra Club’s history, and the largest grassroots mobilization in the environmental movement. Our Plan to Win has been focused on netting pro-climate, pro-environment votes for Joe Biden and Democratic senators in five key battleground states. Some 35,000 volunteers wrote more than a million letters, sent almost 20 million texts, and are now closing in on our goal of 5 million phone calls.

Voting Rights Take Center Stage

Voter suppression, which by design affects voters of color the most, has a long and shameful history in the United States. On average, it takes Black and Latino voters nearly 50 percent longer to cast their ballots than white voters, and voters of color are being subjected to intimidation from Trump supporters who have been emboldened by the president himself. Today’s election will test the resilience of our democracy in the face of steadily eroding voting rights set in motion by the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013.

Over 125 Reasons Why He’s Got to Go

During Donald Trump’s first term, his administration succeeded in rolling back more than 125 environmental safeguards. Among the most recent and potentially consequential was stripping Alaska’s Tongass National Forest of Roadless Rule protections, effectively opening it up to clearcut logging of old-growth trees. “It’s senseless, autocratic vandalism,” says Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune.

How did the administration reach the decision to revoke the Roadless Rule in the Tongass—and why do so now?

An Election Unlike Any Other

Between a pandemic that Donald Trump has lied about, to Republican officials seeking to suppress your voice through gerrymandering and last-minute rule changes, to fears about whether Trump will leave office when he’s defeated, this really is an election unlike any other. But that hasn’t stopped Sierra Club Independent Action and millions of people across the country from working around the clock to make sure every single voter can access the polls and that their votes be counted. A record number of voters have already cast their ballots, and people haven’t even gone to the polls yet! We know what the polls are saying, but the collective trauma felt from election night in 2016 still lives on in our minds. So today, if you haven’t already voted, please bring three
friends who have not done so either and, safely, vote.

The pandemic has revealed how the communities hardest hit are often the same communities that suffer from high levels of pollution and poor access to healthcare. The fight for environmental justice cannot be separated from the fight for racial justice.
