Sierra Club

Some places remind us why we fight to protect them. 🏜️💚

This October, Sierra Club members joined our Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter (@texassierraclub) for an unforgettable outing to Big Bend National Park, exploring its breathtaking desert landscapes, connecting with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, and experiencing firsthand what makes our public lands so special.

The trip came on the heels of an important legal victory for Big Bend — a reminder that protecting the places we love takes sustained advocacy and people willing to speak up.

At Sierra Club, getting outdoors is about more than exploring. It's about building connections with nature, with each other, and with the movement to protect our planet.

Because when we experience these places firsthand, we're inspired to fight for their future. 🌎

Go to sc.org/ProtectBigBend to take action, and follow @nobigbendwall @savebigbend @keepbigbendwild_org for updates and ways to get involved.

We just learned Idaho paid hunters $2,000 for every newborn wolf pup they killed. Meanwhile, Trump is working to weaken the Endangered Species Act, putting imperiled wildlife at even greater risk.

This is an abomination. There’s no undoing extinction.

BREAKING: Just hours after final plans were approved for Trump’s 250-foot vanity arch on national parkland, a federal judge HALTED construction!

But this fight isn’t over. The court’s order only pauses construction for two weeks. Congress must act now before it’s too late. Tell your lawmakers to block funding for Trump’s arch and protect our public lands at sc.org/arch

This week’s overwhelming blue wave election sent a clear message: Americans are fed up with an administration that raises costs through chaotic energy policies and puts corporate polluters ahead of the public interest.

As the Senate considers a possible vote during the lame-duck session, Congressional Democrats have a mandate to deliver relief on energy bills and level the playing field for clean energy.

As written, this bill achieves critical wins on transmission and potential emissions reduction. But those wins do not justify abandoning Tribal consultation, clean water safeguards, and wildlife protections, nor further enabling a rogue president that is waging a war on clean energy.

The Sierra Club supports updating and expediting clean energy permitting. But Congress must demand fundamental changes to protect public health, Tribal sovereignty, the environment, and communities’ ability to challenge unlawful projects.

As Sierra Club Executive Director Loren Blackford said, “They can and must fight for a better deal.”
