Thanks, Joe

On day one of his presidency, Joe Biden signed executive orders to scrap plans for future drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, cancel the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, and rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement. Later this week, he is expected to sign another passel of executive orders to protect the climate. People like you helped put climate high on the Biden administration’s agenda for its first 100 days. Just imagine what we can accomplish over the next four years working with a president who prioritizes climate and the environment.

Send President Biden a thank you and urge him to keep it up.

Victories in Dark Times

As we look back on four years of Trump, it’s important to remember the victories we notched against a deeply hostile administration determined to roll back environmental protections. These wins show that when we come together, we can change our communities and our country in powerful ways that would have seemed inconceivable not long ago.

We can't wait to see what we'll do together over the next four years.

Inside the Blue Hole

Less than a week after the attack on the US Capitol, a surreal photograph went viral: not of the mob but a manatee, specifically its algae-furred back, where someone had scraped the name TRUMP in capital letters.

Here’s what the manatee can teach us about the new depths reached by American politics.

Reading In the Age of C OVID

There’s no sugar-coating the fact that sheltering in place is a drag. It does, however, provide us with an opportunity to pause and reflect on how we got into the pickle we’re in today, and how to move on for the better. How do we tap into the well of suffering, resilience, community consciousness, and grace that can bring us together and lead us forward?

Here are five must-reads that we hope will help point the way.

Show Us What Democracy Looks Like

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Sierra Club Director of Policy, Advocacy, and Legal Leslie Fields reflected on the “fierce urgency” of making real the promises of our democracy. “This election season we overcame voter suppression and blatant racism to elect new leaders who will govern for all of us,” she writes.

Democracy Demands Justice: Convict and Disqualify Trump

Even though Donald Trump is out of office now, we must show that his treasonous acts will be held to account. In a democracy, violent attacks cannot be incited by white supremacists to subvert the will of the people without significant repercussions. A democracy respects the will of the people. Our democracy demands accountability and justice.

Tell your senators to convict Trump and disqualify him from running for federal office again.
