In Celebration of Hispanic Heritage

The Sierra Club joins the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month by recognizing the talent, achievements, and passion of the Latinx communities and their commitment to the environment. Latinx people’s cultural heritage is part of the nation itself, as well as the history and present of the environmental movement.

Different Roles, Same Struggle

The Sierra Club has a valuable role to play as part of a multiracial, intergenerational anti-racist movement by confronting, rejecting, and undermining white support for white supremacy. Black folks, Indigenous Americans, and other people of color are calling on majority-white organizations like the Sierra Club to do this work.

Protect Gray Wolves

Extreme new laws now in effect in Montana and Wyoming offer bounties for killing wolves by baiting, snaring, shooting them from motorized vehicles and helicopters, and other unethical methods. The laws allow hunters to kill 85 and 90 percent of Montana’s and Wyoming’s gray wolves, respectively, and will almost certainly drive the animals back to the brink of extinction.

Living Testimony

Becoming "Madam Secretary" has catapulted her to the status of an Indigenous icon. Across social media, one of her most famous lines is now hashtagged on a regular basis: “Be fierce.” For many, Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is the most visible reminder that Native people are still here.

Time to Stop Fossil Fuel Drilling On Public Lands

For decades, the federal government has been essentially gifting public lands to fossil fuel companies. An astonishing 40 percent of all coal produced in the United States comes from our public lands. But you can help stop this giveaway. Between now and October 5, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is accepting public comments on the federal coal leasing program.

Add your voice: Tell the BLM to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Coal Dust & Environmental Justice: Podcasts from the Meaning of Green

The Sierra Club’s efforts to curb coal dust pollution figure prominently in two recent episodes of The Meaning of Green, a podcast hosted by Vivian Thompson, former member of the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board. "Coal Dust is Black" shines a light on the poisoning of a small town in the coalfields of western Virginia, while "The Power Game" reveals how low-income and Black communities in maritime Virginia disproportionately bear the brunt of coal dust pollution. Thompson shows how these disparate locales share a common enemy: Fossil fuel companies that value profits over people and public health.

Climate Bill In the Balance

Congress is on the brink of passing a historic budget reconciliation bill to address the climate crisis, but only by the thinnest of margins. The bill would combat the climate crisis, create family-supporting union jobs, and take on racial and environmental justice. The cost of inaction is … well, let’s not go there.

[link removed]
Urge your members of Congress to support this bill and its historic investments in clean energy, clean water, and clean transportation.

NIMBYs in Bernieland

In proudly progressive Vermont, consistently ranked as the second-most liberal state in the nation, everyone loves clean energy—so long as it’s produced somewhere else. Thanks to saavy organizing by NIMBY (“not in my back yard”) activists, large wind and solar projects have all but ground to a halt in the homeland of Ben & Jerry.

Point Reyes Elk Losing Ground

More than a third of the resident elk herd at Point Reyes National Seashore in California died last year. The Park Service says the deaths are due to the normal ebb and flow of the herd. But environmental groups including the local Sierra Club say it’s more like a safari park than a national park, and the Park Service needs to step in and keep the herd’s numbers from going into free fall.
