Rural Energy for America (REAP) is *still* frozen, with thousands of farmers and small businesses in the lurch. dailyyonder.com/farmers-stil...

Big coal is trying to undermine water protections in Kentucky! Thank you to bestselling novelist @silashouse.bsky.social, who joined our Kentucky Chapter and partners in speaking out: www.kentucky.com/opinion/op-e...

🎧 LISTEN NOW: @sierraclub.org's Allie Lindstrom spoke with The Rift podcast and host Roshan Krishnan @rhymeswithocean.bsky.social about how climate change impacts public pensions in the US and what workers can do to protect their retirement savings. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

“This has been their plan all along..." - Nick Gevock, Northern Rockies field organizer for the Sierra Club and former Montana Wildlife Federation policy lead. www.outdoorlife.com/conservation...

BREAKING: @campaignlegal.org @ucsusa.bsky.social @jacl-national.bsky.social & Sierra Club have filed a lawsuit challenging Elon Musk and DOGE's unlawful & devastating funding & staffing cuts to the U.S. National Park Service & Forest Service www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Our national parks, monuments, and public lands are treasures that protect nature, wildlife, and clean water for future generations. But right now, some leaders want to hand these precious places over to corporate polluters for drilling and mining.

Trump has no idea what is best for New Yorkers. Along with @ridersalliance.org and represented by @earthjustice.bsky.social, we're joining @mta.info in court against Trump DOT's attempts to terminate congestion pricing in NYC.

As Canada & Mexico tariffs go into effect, @BenJealous says the chaotic approach will hurt US workers & manufacturers. “Trump’s belief that tariffs alone will help revitalize American manufacturing is simply not rooted in basic economics."

Over the past few weeks, we've seen sweeping layoffs to nearly every single federal agency. Firing thousands of employees with no notice and no reason is cruel, leaving individuals unable to serve in the places they love, losing their paychecks, and withdrawing their health insurance.

In a cowardly and shortsighted move, Wells Fargo just became the first major US bank to abandon its commitment to achieve net-zero emissions. 🤬 Sierra Club's statement: www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

“The revolution will be live-streamed.” -Kendrick Lamar (probably) This is the official resistance account made up of 650+ park rangers. News and stories coming from park rangers, for park rangers and everyone.

Park rangers want YOU to help us protect our parks! This Saturday, 3/1, in solidarity with the 50:50:1 movement, plan a protest in support of your closest national park. Do it at 12 noon your time, or whatever best fits your secret plan 👀🤠😏 #ProtectOurParks #SaveOurParks #RehireRangers

We’ve added a linktree in our bio, complete with graphics, protest locations, and tips for organizing! #ProtestLikeAParkRanger

Senate Republicans just blocked an effort to end Trump’s sham energy “emergency,” siding with corporate polluters over you, everyday Americans. This order guts clean air & water safeguards, hikes utility bills, & stalls renewable energy—all to benefit billionaires & fossil fuel execs bit.ly/4kjP6Cs

Appalachian communities are still suffering the consequences of coal mining - even years after the mines have stopped operating. Dirty fossil fuel companies must take responsibility, clean up their mess, and restore these communities.

75+ organizations are calling for common-sense action to #CutMethane & stop wasting American energy. Congress should uphold a fee on the biggest methane polluters → bit.ly/3QxtPaS

Tia Clark, a South Carolina native, teaches Charleston visitors about the joys of connecting to nature through food and conservation. Read more about how Clark is helping conservation efforts by connecting people to water. ✍️ @dangerjr.bsky.social

The US wants to bring back domestic chipmaking. @sierraclub.org is working hard to ensure workers & communities are protected. We can't repeat Silicon Valley's mistakes that forced people into unsafe working conditions. @justcalma.bsky.social for @theverge.com www.theverge.com/features/611...

🔔 GOOD NEWS Renewable energy production in the U.S. outpaced coal production in 2024—turns out, clean energy is better at keeping the lights on than dirty, expensive coal.

You're invited to join Sierra Club's next "Climate Action Hour" on February 26. Join to hear the latest update on Trump's agenda & take effective action against it. sc.org/4hLbnrd

FREE: Watch Sierra Club's Jeremy Fisher discuss the impacts of data centers on our electric grid, utility bills, and our climate.

With extreme heat days tripling in LA County, 1 in 5 households there still lack ANY cooling system. @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social can help by ramping up heat pump sales through proposed standards - bringing efficient, affordable cooling it is most needed!

Most heat deaths happen INSIDE homes without proper cooling. Heat pumps are the most efficient cooling option & could save lives. @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social: Pass strong standards to make them affordable & accessible!

We applaud CalPERS' push to defend national climate disclosures. As oil companies continue to pollute our atmosphere, it's all the more important to expose the risk of investments in fossil fuels. California must implement SB 253 - a state law that does just that. www.pionline.com/esg/calpers-...

Wildfire smoke, smog… our air should not make us sick! @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social must leverage EVERY TOOL from the Clean Air Act to deliver healthy air for our communities, including cutting smog-forming NOx pollution from buildings. Sign the petition here: www.socalcleanair.com

“A warmer planet with more CO2 is better” “There’s pluses to global warming” Dangerous rhetoric from Donald Trump’s energy secretary (who got rich tearing our planet apart in search of fracked gas) now using his role in government to deny science.

Yesterday Sierra Club joined fellow environmental groups to file the first environmental suit against the current Trump administration over an illegal order to dismantle offshore drilling protections.

Hunting should not be for only the rich. 😡🦌 Sierra Club's Northern Rockies Field Strategist Nick Gevock calls out Montana lawmakers for pushing a bill designed to prioritize Elk slaughter for the wealthy on private lands.

Congestion pricing is working. The majority of voters want NYC to keep it. ⬇️ Traffic ⬇️ Air pollution Faster buses and more $$$ for transit 🚌👏 When was the last time Donald Trump took the subway or the bus in New York? Our statement:

133 local leaders to Congress: Keep clean energy tax credits! 👩‍🏭 400,000 new jobs 💸 Over $422 billion in investments Republican states have benefited most from #InflationReductionAct tax credits. Repealing them will hurt communities across the country.

Our financial systems are driving the climate crisis. At a local level, public pensions and state treasuries are using our tax dollars to fuel the climate crisis by continuing to fund big oil, gas, and other polluters.

As Trump announced 25% tariffs on steel imports, our executive director @benjealous.bsky.social sent a letter to the White House outlining why tariffs alone fail to support American jobs & calling for added support for innovation in the US steel industry.

Electric vehicles are saving families money, reducing dangerous air pollution, and providing jobs in our communities. We're not just talking cars - EVs include electric bikes, buses, and trucks too! This #ValentinesDay, we collected some #EVLoveStories ❤️⚡ www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

Trump's anti-EV actions and tariffs would be terrible for auto workers, says Ford CEO Jim Farley. Auto manufacturers are sounding the alarm about potential auto job layoffs if Trump moves forward with his plans ⏰
