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. |

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. |

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. |

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.
"Now is the moment to protect and strengthen our democracy." |

| At this writing, new cases of COVID-19
infection, hospitalization, and death are at an all-time high and gaining momentum, with colder weather coming on. The virus continues to disproportionately affect low-income communities and communities of color, many of which are forced to live with high levels of pollution and inadequate access to healthcare. The fight for environmental justice cannot be separated from the fight for racial, social, and economic justice. |
