We're Rallying for a Clean Energy Future Nationwide <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0dfecbc69166aab49f56c6a8c86f8644c6b09e486bc152ca13963389b2b5a681105e9eccb7a03bcf2897f683f180b

The clean energy revolution is happening. Jobs in clean energy are growing faster than in any other sector. The only problem? Fossil fuel interests and the Trump administration are fighting
back. They're spending millions to slow our progress and protect polluter profits.
That's why changemakers nationwide are coming together for Sun Day ☀️ this Sunday, September 21, to celebrate our clean energy progress and call for accelerating the transition. <http://click.emails.

The EPA Should Protect People, Not Polluters <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0d74105508eb619999d28b606384f99e7ea0a18db2b991c7e3ecbbf4f44f29d49b82ae6349ce3cf4f90ddee07b100eee8397

Right now, Trump's Environmental Protection Agency is trying to cut its own power to stop greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating the long-standing endangerment finding. These environmental
protections are critical to protecting the people and places we love. They safeguard our communities from wildfires, floods, and other unnatural disasters. And they keep pollution out
of our air and water. The EPA works for us. We are the ones who should be calling the shots.
We must demand they do their job and follow the science, not the agenda of the corporate polluters who bought access to Trump. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0dd9ef8cd0ddea6522

The Trump administration is racing to roll back the Roadless Rule, a critical protection that keeps nearly 58 million acres of national forest land safe from destructive logging, road-building,
and mining. But there's a powerful way you can fight back: Right now, a generous donor will match every dollar you give up to $20,000!
Make a gift right now to DOUBLE your power to protect our forests and all wild places. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0d5009640aa924c2a06017e726833a1d4ec00f3c68db169f3a5e5fc7a2

Just out from Sierra's Fall 2025 issue: a critical look at the impact of new policies that could take public lands away from people and turn them over to private corporations. The new
regs, which would exclude the public from commenting and expand industry in protected spaces, are unlike anything public land managers have ever seen.
Here's what's at stake as they face a barrage of threats that could change public lands for decades to come. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0df152ee24753c34ee29973e973ab52b3b63

This Is How Climate Change Transformed a Maryland Neighborhood <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0d3676f79ca48cb18e6bdac94d120709ee93d31999d529da5d7aaa2eb2c81023bf1434e7bf82c813bd

Thirty years ago, scientists and journalists had to travel to the Arctic or Australia's Great Barrier Reef to see the early impacts of global warming up close. Now, after oil, coal,
and gas combustion dumped 900 more gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the impacts can be witnessed everywhere.
One writer considers how the changing canopy of his suburban community in Maryland reflects the threat of a warming world. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0dbfb2d21d50b1d434c439

The Fight Over Data Centers <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=98cbc678087afd0d1c3b4910d41cd8425001d6badadbc28d7c060f192c641735803115c1dbca36dbeaa91d66ccd02878311b51f434babf6fcf4c1aaea5eebcd8>
Trump has made winning the AI race, and specifically beating China, a central focus of his administration. This past summer, he issued an executive order that could make federal lands
available for the construction of data centers, as well as electrical and gas lines and electrical substations.
Now, some worry that data centers could burden an already strained energy grid, leading to a much greater risk of blackouts as well as higher costs for utility customers. <http://click.emails.sierrac
