This Friday is Earth Day—the one day a year when people all over the world come together to call for environmental protection and climate action for our communities. But we know that our fight for a livable planet for all must continue year-round. So this Earth Day, start a monthly membership to power our work every day for the transformative change we need to slow the twin climate and biodiversity crises, confront injustice, and protect the only planet we have.
The Sierra Club has a long history of winning difficult fights, and with your monthly commitment, we know that we can continue to win unprecedented investments in climate solutions, legislation that holds big oil and gas accountable and stops them from drilling and spilling their way across public lands, and a renewed commitment to protecting 30% of nature by 2030. But as experts warn us again and again, we have no time to waste—become a monthly member this Earth Day. |

When 20 million people took to the streets for the first Earth Day celebration in 1970, they shifted the course of history, helping create the EPA, the Clean Air and Water Act, and more. Today, we once again need to change the course of history to protect the planet on which we all depend. This is the moment for bold action to move our country forward and end the climate crisis.
Join us in DC, Phoenix, Atlanta or dozens of other communities nationwide. |

Mature and old-growth trees and forests are one of our country’s greatest resources. These forests provide critical habitat for wildlife, prevent erosion and flooding, protect our drinking water, and are an essential climate solution.
Tell President Biden to protect our forests. |
