The Inflation Reduction Act Buys Us Some Badly Needed Time…

The new federal climate legislation offers breathing room to keep pushing for more ambitious—and more equitable—climate action.

Learn about the new law.

...But the Fight Continues

After decades of inaction and apathy, the US Congress approved the largest climate legislation in US history. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) comes full of investments in climate, clean energy, and environmental justice—and will create nine million good, family-sustaining jobs over the next 10 years.

But as Sierra Club Associate Director of Communication for Latino Media Javier Sierra says, the IRA also comes loaded with gifts to the dirty energy industry, which will end up disproportionately punishing front-line communities.

Protect Alaska's Bristol Bay

Bristol Bay is home to the largest sockeye salmon fishery in the world and provides sustenance for 30 Alaska Native Tribes. It's a huge job creator and economy booster for Alaska—and offers fishing experiences like nowhere else on Earth. Unfortunately, an enormous proposed open-pit copper and gold mine (Pebble Mine) continues to pose a dangerous threat to Bristol Bay’s ecosystems and communities.

We still have a chance to protect Bristol Bay and this national treasure. Send a personal message to the EPA telling them it's time to protect Bristol Bay once and for all!

Sierra Club Foundation Annual Report

The 2021 Sierra Club Foundation Annual Report showcases the impact of Sierra Club Foundation-funded work over the course of the year, sharing stories of organizers, attorneys, chapters, and partners across the country who are moving our mission forward.

In 2021, we saw major achievements in the fight for climate justice thanks to the relentless, collective advocacy of volunteers, staff, and partners. Working together with frontline communities, Tribes, and local grassroots organizations demonstrates that we can protect nature when we catalyze people to be powerful together.

Ensuring Our National Monuments Acknowledge Our Nation's Legacy of Racial Violence

Our nation has a long history of race riots, massacres, and lynchings. One of the most pivotal took place in 1908 in Springfield, IL, when a white mob attacked and lynched Black people and burned their homes. This galvanized the public and led to the founding of the NAACP.

While stories like this deserve a place in our history books and among our public spaces, we do not have any parks or monuments that tell these important histories.

Now, we're calling on the National Park Service to establish this location as a national monument to preserve its history and provide a memorial to honor riot victims and their descendants.
