Oil and gas companies are making record profits, while we pay the price of the climate chaos they cause. We're working to Make Polluters Pay. Join a Virtual Action Hour event on Thurs, Jan 15, to make polluters pay to clean up their mess. @polluterspay.bsky.social sc.org/PollutersAct...

"The project reflects the broader mission of the @sierraclub.org, the nation’s largest grassroots environmental organization, which works to protect clean air and water, promote clean energy, preserve wild places and empower communities through education and advocacy." 2/

This is beautiful and inspiring. On a cold winters night in West Virginia, 56 people gathered together to make a quilt, "connect and imagine new ways to confront climate change through one of Appalachia’s most storied folk traditions." @sierraclub.org 1/

The Sierra Club and all of civil society depend on free speech, peaceful assembly, and a functioning democracy to create a brighter future for us all. The Sierra Club stands firm in our commitment to protecting our rights, dignity, and safety.

We honor the life and legacy of Betty Reid Soskin, who passed away this week at age 104 — a truth teller, historian, and the nation’s oldest active national park ranger when she retired at age 100. Read more about her life in a Sierra Magazine interview in 2015 www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2015-...

As 2025 wraps up, we’re celebrating clean transportation wins — despite constant roadblocks. From protecting the national EV charging network to opposing federal climate rollbacks, advocates kept progress moving. sc.org/CleanTranspo... @katherinejulia.bsky.social

This year, our connection nature has never faced a greater threat — from the firings of national park stewards to the efforts to sell off public lands. Here's how our Outdoors For All campaign met the moment in 2025. bit.ly/44teqzR

In 2025, while much of the financial sector backtracked on climate action, one key part of the system stepped up: public pension funds managing trillions in workers’ savings. 🏦 Here’s how our Sustainable Finance Campaign helped drive progress this year: bit.ly/3MH1q3t

"This move shows just how far the administration will go to sidestep our nation’s complex history." The Interior Department's recent decision to end free entry days at national parks on MLK Day and Juneteenth is "a step backward."

Freedom of Information Act #FOIA request uncovers documents revealing many Americans oppose the Trump administration's efforts to whitewash history on public lands. www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

In 2025, much of the financial sector backtracked on climate action — but one major pillar stepped up: public pensions that manage trillions in workers’ savings. 🫰 Here’s our @sierraclub.org campaign year-end review of key developments & what’s next 👇 www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

New @reclaimfinance.org report endorsed by @sierraclub.org reveals pension funds and other asset owners are failing to stop asset managers like BlackRock from supporting fossil fuel expansion.

Thank you, ‪@hickenlooper.senate.gov for being the first Senator to publicly oppose the nomination of Sell-off Steve Pearce to be Director of the Bureau of Land Management! Our public lands are not for sale.  📢 Call your Senators to urge them to vote NO on "Sell Off Steve" Pearce: 1-855-980-5638

"Gutting the (gas-mileage) program will make cars burn more gas and American families burn more cash," said  @katherinejulia.bsky.social, director of the Sierra Club’s Clean Transportation for All program.

Trump and Republicans just slashed clean energy tax credits that help families save on solar and home upgrades. ⏳ You still have limited time to claim these savings before they’re gone. Learn how you can take advantage of these tax credits before December 31, 2025! ⚡🏡 sc.org/taxcredits

Climate change threatens our economy and millions of workers' retirement security. NYC pensions can set a powerful precedent: asset managers who fail to confront climate risk should expect to lose clients to those that do better. @sierraclub.org statement ⬇️ www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.

The Trump administration is proposing massive entrance fee increases at national parks for non-residents in 2026. This will do nothing more than set parks up to become playgrounds for the super-rich. @altnps.bsky.social Full statement 👇

President Trump and his cabinet secretaries are enamored with coal, a dying energy source whose operating costs outweigh the revenue it generates. So who’s asking for this? Hint - it’s not the average American.

Holly Bender recently joined her daughter on a field trip to the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. @sierraclubwi.bsky.social   It was a perfect backdrop to hand out Every Kid Outdoors passes providing a year of free entry to national parks for 4th graders & families.

On the opening day at COP30, the United Nations’ annual climate summit, the scene was emblematic of a shifting order. With the United States absent, all eyes were on China. ✍️ 📸 Nour Ghantous

The Trump administration is moving to weaken the Endangered Species Act, possibly threatening protections for vulnerable wildlife and opening the door to habitat loss and extinction—even as broad bipartisan support for the ESA remains strong nationwide. 🔗 bit.ly/4o73iPY

This week, the House is voting on measures that would open the Arctic and other irreplaceable places to destructive oil and gas leasing. We need to speak up.

"By entering this exchange, the Trump administration is tearing up a plan they themselves designed and advancing a version that will be even more destructive to fragile landscapes and wildlife populations." - @sierraclub.org's Athan Manuel.

This week we are honoring and uplifting the courage, service and sacrifice of our military veterans — and we're especially proud of how getting outside, together, can make a difference.

This weekend, the New York Times ran a story claiming Sierra Club’s values have diluted our mission. They couldn’t be more wrong. The list of their errors is too long for one social post, but we go over some examples in these slides.

The Florida wildlife commission has approved a bear hunt despite the objections of Floridians. Even the state agency has debunked one of the primary justifications for the hunt, which is that bears will run out of habitat. Now, advocates are mounting a novel way to save the state’s bears.

In 2024, the planet crossed what many scientists consider a dangerous threshold: It warmed to about 1.55 °C above pre-industrial levels, passing the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C threshold. That same year, American utility companies largely failed to do their part to ramp down fossil fuel usage.

With the federal government shut down, states aren’t getting the funds they need to help low-income families pay rising utility bills. Power shut-offs during extreme weather can be deadly. We’re calling on utilities to keep the lights on during the shutdown. ⚡️

These migratory birds were leaving New York and never returning. Their disappearance stumped the researchers who banded them. However, their discovery led to an unlikely partnership between a coastal Brazilian community and an ornithologist in the US. ✍️ Jill Langlois 📸 Afonso Farias

“The Trump administration is weaponizing the government shutdown to gut staffing, weaken environmental protections, and normalize their ultimate goal of privatizing public lands,” writes @jackieostfeld.bsky.social in @thehill.com . thehill.com/opinion/ener...

🚨 We just launched an interactive tracker analyzing the proxy voting guidelines of major U.S. public pensions. 🔍Take a look & learn how these influential investors decide where to cast their votes on shareholder proposals at major corporations.

In March, an EPA official told a Ford executive, “Although I am recused from Ford issues, you always have a friend here.” Then, Trump banned states from setting vehicle emissions standards. In our latest FOIA request, we dive into which groups have the EPA's ear: sc.org/FOIA

For decades, this small but mighty Arctic research collective shaped what we know about the fastest-warming region on Earth—linking scientists, funding studies, and uplifting Indigenous knowledge. Last month, it shut down after federal funding was cut. 🔗 bit.ly/47uOjKE

A beautiful spot in Alaska, north of the Arctic Circle, is an essential habitat for many animals. That area, more than 10 times the size of Yellowstone, is at risk.

In an unprecedented move, Senate Republicans just voted to erase public land plans in AK, MT, and ND, all to benefit corporate polluters. And they're not done yet: similar resolutions have already been introduced. Tell your members of Congress to choose the people over polluters: sc.org/LandsAction

In September, SC staff & volunteers traveled to D.C. to participate in Wilderness Week to ask Congress to protect our public lands, support the Roadless Area Conservation Act, and safeguard park rangers & other stewards of shared lands.   sc.org/RACA sc.org/LandsAction @natlwilderness.bsky.social

Sierra Club's @jessyewaxman.bsky.social talks with @inthesetimes.com about our work to push pension to stop buying new bonds issued by fossil fuel companies hoping to raise 💰💰💰 for pipelines, refineries & more.

Trump shut down the federal government, but ordered national parks to stay open. "Forcing national parks to operate without sufficient support, simply to maintain the illusion of openness, puts visitors, staff, and the land at risk." @JackieOstfeld.bsky.social www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Trump just handed $625M to Big Coal + opened millions of acres for mining. Meanwhile, utilities are STILL clinging to expensive fossil fuels. Our 5th Dirty Truth report shows the cost is falling on families. #DirtyTruthReport sc.org/dirtytruth

The Trump EPA's comment period for its dangerous proposal to attack critical climate protections has come to an end. Read our recap of how the Sierra Club community spoke out against the rollback of #CleanerCars and #CleanerTrucks: www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

🚨 Today, US civil society joins the global call for Hyundai to clean up its supply chain. Hyundai’s business model = climate chaos, human rights abuses & worker exploitation. It's time for #HyundaiDriveChange. Learn more 🔗 drive-change.org

Great news 🎉 The Every Kid Outdoors Act was introduced by @repyassansari.bsky.social. This bill gives every 4th & 5th grader, and their families, free entry to our national parks & public lands. This is crucial to ensuring that all kids can get outdoors. 🌳💧⛰️ www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

In a time of division, Sierra Club members and activists led by Friends Across Borders gathered in honor of the 54th anniversary of Friendship Park. We celebrated #InternationalFriendshipDay here in hopes of seeing a future where this #PublicLand can be enjoyed together.

If there’s one thing Donald Trump knows, it’s con jobs and scams. But while he’s busy running them, millions of everyday Americans are affected by devastating extreme weather events, rising insurance rates, tougher farming conditions, and worsening air quality. #climatechangeisreal #climateweek

Our new principles guide financial institutions like pensions on how to make credible investments in climate solutions. It goes beyond support for clean energy technologies and includes things like community resilience, green jobs & more.

🚨 BIG NEWS: Sierra Club has released new guidance for financial institutions on what constitutes credible investments in #climate solutions. To protect savings, investments must cut emissions, support workers, protect nature & build resilient communities. www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Too often, pensions & other financial institutions make splashy "climate solutions" pledges with little transparency or credibility. That’s why @sierraclub.org & partners just published new Principles for Climate Solutions Investments to guide what should (and shouldn't) count. 🔗👇

Thank you @warren.senate.gov for reintroducing the Reconciliation in Place Names Act to rename geographic features or places with racist, offensive & derogatory names. This is an important step in the process of making our public lands places for all people.
