Dear Supporter,

Some things never change.

130 years ago, after the Sierra Club was founded, supporters like you quickly mobilized to protect Yosemite National Park. Since that time, we've secured protections for an incredible 439 national parks and monuments.

Now, 130 years later, these cherished treasured public lands need our help again. Fossil fuel development, rising temperatures, extreme droughts, and anti-environment forces threaten to destroy these irreplaceable wild vistas.

That's why today, we're launching a new urgent campaign to save public lands in 2023, and we're counting on you to help us do it. We need to secure 439 new Wilderness Guardians by Friday, December 22.

Can we help us protect public lands in the coming year?

Renew your support and help us stop polluters and fight climate change that threatens our most cherished public lands. If you respond by Friday, we'll send you this free Sierra Club ball cap as our thanks. Even $5 a month makes a big difference.

The same greedy profiteers that threatened to spoil Yosemite National Park all those years ago live on today.

• Big Oil wants to develop, drill and destroy more of the Arctic - to extract more oil and profits, leaving behind a permanently polluted and poisoned tundra. Become a Wilderness Guardian today with a gift of just $5/month and renew your support to save the Arctic from Big Oil's toxic crusade >>

• Anti-environment forces are fighting to dismantle protections for national monuments - including the priceless and strikingly beautiful Bear's Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante.

• Polluters want to sacrifice more coastal areas in the Gulf of Mexico for profit, leaving Black, brown and Indigenous communities to suffer the consequences of their deadly drilling. Renew your support with a $5 monthly gift and help us defend communities that are already bearing the brunt of toxic pollution >>

• Extreme heat and record droughts are fueling more frequent and intense wildfires, threatening to destroy ecosystems in Yellowstone and other iconic national parks. With one monthly gift of $5 today, you can renew your membership and help prevent a climate disaster from wiping out our nation's more prized public parks >>

Together, you and so many other Sierra Club supporters over the last 130 years protected 439 national parks and monuments from being developed and destroyed.

Today, we need your help to make sure those efforts weren't in vain.
