At the Sierra Club, we believe in the power of togetherness. Together, we remain committed to the fight for a healthy climate built on a foundation of environmental, racial, economic, and gender justice – a future where all people benefit from a healthy, thriving planet and a direct connection to nature. As the climate crisis and deeply entrenched systemic racism all fuel inequity, we will continue to fight for a bold, transformational agenda that recognizes the interconnectedness between our planet, our humanity, and our democracy. By recognizing that our destinies are tied, we continue to name that all things are fundamentally connected, and the overlap between ecology, race, gender, and representative government will move to either advance our collective humanity or to oppress it. Sierra Club is comprised of staff across the country and a network of local chapters that support our grassroots engagement. We are also proud to be a unionized employer, with two labor unions representing more than half of our employees. Please view www.sierraclub.org/careers/ for more information.

"In the decades since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the shipping of US jobs overseas has helped destroy towns and cities across America," Ben Jealous, the Sierra Club executive director, writes in his latest column. "Now, the IRA is fueling a manufacturing rebirth that is creating good-paying jobs while bringing our energy economy into the 21st century."

Earlier this month, activists protested outside Citigroup's NYC headquarters, calling out the bank for being a main funder of new fossil fuel projects worldwide despite its stated sustainability goals of decarbonizing. Throughout the summer, similar rallies have also addressed weapons manufacturing, oil and gas projects in the Gulf South, and operations in Israel.

As concerns about the dangers of forever chemicals rise nationwide and lawyers warn of a deluge of “astronomical” lawsuits, commercial insurers are quietly eliminating liability coverage for these chemicals’ health and ecological consequences. Such coverage exclusions can leave small businesses on the line for costly litigation and victims without recourse for their medical costs from life-threatening PFAS exposure.

Victory for our health & environmental justice! On Tuesday, August 6, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) re-approval of Rio Grande and Texas LNG facilities in Brownsville, TX. The Court agreed with us that FERC failed to adequately assess the environmental justice impacts of the project and how it would harm communities in the region. This is the first time a court vacated FERC approval of an LNG terminal. Now, we must keep up the pressure to stop new LNG fracked gas export facilities for good! Congratulations to the South Texas Environmental Justice Network, the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, and our other partner organizations for their years of organizing and fighting the fossil fuel buildout in the Gulf!
