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! Take action to stop dangerous gas exports at the 🔗 https://bit.ly/46Y7rig
About us
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.

This month, the EPA issued an emergency ban on the pesticide Dacthal, marking the first time in over 40 years that the agency has taken such action. For decades, research has consistently shown that Dacthal causes changes to fetal thyroid hormone levels, which can lead to low birth weight, impaired brain development, and impaired motor skills.

🌲 Our forests need your voice! 🌲 The U.S. Forest Service is considering stronger protections for our precious old-growth forests, which are vital in combating climate change and preserving biodiversity. These ancient trees are more than just timber; they store massive amounts of carbon, provide habitats for wildlife, and sustain our ecosystems. Join us in urging the USFS to stop logging old-growth forests and safeguard them for future generations. 🌍💪 👉 https://bit.ly/4eQv14e
