Dear, Supporter:
They’re still at it. I’m talking about the House Republicans who are - still - doing their best to drown you and me out.
Essentially, they want to cut the public out of environmental decisions. And if they succeed, then we lose our environment’s greatest xxxxxx against corporate interests: US.
We must push back against their opening salvo on our environment before these ideas gain momentum.
That’s why it’s so critical that we get your support today:
Become a Wilderness Guardian monthly member by MIDNIGHT tomorrow, and help us reach our goal of 118 new monthly donors to power our campaign all year against extremists in Congress. You'll also get our exclusive Sierra Club Clay Mug — FREE!
Dismantling the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is one of the House Republicans’ TOP priorities. Days after taking power, they introduced the “Permitting for Mining Needs Act”, a bill that takes direct aim at NEPA.
If they succeed in building support for this idea that we should limit the public’s input into major environmental decisions, then all bets are off.
What could that look like? Get ready for industrial mining and pollution on public lands as we’ve never witnessed before. What’s left of the unscarred Arctic tundra will turn into a wasteland of roads, pipelines, drill rigs, and chemical spills. The Deepwater Horizon disaster off our coasts will be just the first of similar environmental tragedies.
The Sierra Club is uniquely positioned to fight against these anti-environmental agendas in the House. That’s because we have active members and volunteers in every single district across the country.
With your support, we can rally millions of voices to object fiercely against the House Republican majority and its attacks on NEPA.
Can we count on you to renew your support by becoming a monthly member? We need 118 new monthly gifts by MIDNIGHT tomorrow in order to power our work all year against a pro-polluter agenda in Congress.
As you read this, our new Executive Director Ben Jealous is visiting every single chapter to meet with members and supporters like you.
He knows our power comes from our members. I do too. And your renewed support is a critical part of making the Sierra Club as effective - and as powerful - as possible this year.
Thanks for responding today,
Michelle Mascarenhas
National Director of Campaigns
