The Endangered Species Act and Wildlife Protections Are Under Attack <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b111705002bcbc1cc5f14ad05f6c92feba2ca305d267ebd51a0104e428af12807147505b62895ff70

Legislation is moving forward in Congress that would gut or even repeal the Endangered Species Act (ESA) -- our most powerful tool for saving wildlife, such as gray wolves, grizzly bears,
and salmon, from extinction. These beloved species can't speak for themselves. It's up to us to rise and defend them before they disappear forever.
Tell your members of Congress: We must protect the ESA before more species are pushed to the brink. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b11170505be9d3c5f144e93c74b18e19132ccf26af84b5bdb4

While Americans across the country are increasingly impacted by rising costs, the Trump administration is moving to cut a critical program that has provided low-income families with
energy bill support for decades.
Help protect this program and everyone's right to affordable energy. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b111705f795d36ec74de268b6049386187641a717ab1d5f89e483040760f3fd811bb9f39dcf46576d

Tell Public Pensions: Hold Polluters Accountable <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b111705327cf2e20c0852e883f26e4a626d13102b6e6a70534f1e90634c6a94337f923ab4879df0c3d380708596dc1b7e4602

State pensions are using our public sector workers' retirement funds, supported by tax dollars, to fuel the climate crisis by continuing to fund big oil, gas, and other polluters. But
they could be a part of the solution. Holding corporations accountable for their climate-wrecking behavior is a critical way to reduce risk to workers' retirement savings and protect
our future.
Send a message to your state's public pension fund to vote for climate action. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b1117054a6ab1a467fb83e69a2d5a069dac6134f64c786e78e152f4683bf31718a614b7

Join our third workshop in our "Tapping into Your Story" training series on July 24. We will analyze the narratives created and furthered by the fossil fuel industry, and how they show
themselves in media, culture, and academic institutions. We will also explore the strategies we can employ to counter these normalized stories, messages, and narratives.

Trump's Plan to Eliminate FEMA Could Spell Disaster for Impacted Communities <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b111705586913af0e2bd335bd46209f7030a7ac8786edd3eaee28ab39254a2ae7dec539a0

FEMA has been on the frontline of responding to major disasters, responsible for everything from coordinating recovery response to assisting impacted families. It is the primary way
the federal government mobilizes on behalf of those in need after a disaster.
Now, the Trump administration wants to eliminate this crucial agency as extreme weather events grow in frequency and intensity. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b111705627fbabbd1321cf

Protecting the Apalachicola River <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b1117058f4f61923be4ba62eee6404a902ce4ea5184413c82312958dc4311a0cb803066143b242c23bc1e2a2b36a2907523e171>
When an out-of-state oil drilling company threatened to explore oil prospects in this treasured waterway in the Florida panhandle, kids from around the region spoke up and out. Their
vocal opposition helped inspire Florida lawmakers to pass a bill to ban drilling near the parts of the Apalachicola River that could be most harmed by an oil spill.
Youth activists in Florida prove that you're never too young to protect what you love. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b111705e0c08e651cf96958a1aee728ab98591b7e198ba79dac9cae23193ca7

What's green, as big as your hand, and might help you mail a letter? The luna moth! Its name comes from the moon-like spots on its giant wings -- luna is the Latin word for moon -- which
can stretch across 4.5 inches.
This insect is so cool, it was featured on a postage stamp. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=090d0f909b111705e3d37a44304407368d58824d54635e2596f0668ba4279ebc5f10d03064eff594ddbe603c98d28d5f92a
