This edition's theme is endurance, an acknowledgment of the many challenges our communities and our planet face and the inspiring ways people are responding. As Rosario writes in her editorial, endurance is both personal and ecological -- a living practice and a communion between humans and the land. "If you find yourself struggling … right now, you are not alone." Read Rosario Dawson's reflections on how we can build stronger connections through shared purpose and shape the future together. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=6ef2a19d8139c0fc06efaa80e0c14b 6781fb0eacb7bf48d3e6a4555f55099f7db298b1d77a723572585ecb63902f1e83258b8e658a029745> Read More <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=6ef2a19d8139c0fcd9c7cd386c15ef3a1db6e71251f34bb9a73b354214e85ea4cdcbffdf2511002ac14624c49f612b4d14fbc469c8eaaca3> Did you know a one-year subscription to Sierra magazine is included with your Sierra Club membership?

That's exactly what they are planning to do with America's precious coastal waters. The Trump administration just announced a new five-year plan to expand offshore drilling. It's every bit as bad as you'd think, opening up coastal waters that haven't been leased in decades.

But many tourists who pass through this region never see the cluster of sparsely populated, unincorporated communities -- among the poorest in Southern California -- in the Coachella Valley's southeastern corner, where farmworkers struggle to make ends meet. Luckily organizations like Alianza Nacional de Campesinas are stepping in to help. Learn how communities take care of their own -- helping farmworkers tackle problems including sexual harassment, wage theft, pesticide-related illnesses, and heat stress. <http://click.emails.sierrac lub.org/?qs=6ef2a19d8139c0fc8750f356f56ea377b47b987a8d77257cdb409955a8b81af964c15c1690247627363ea551e8ef46dfaabf0cad72c4d85a> <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=6ef2a19d8139c0fc605a95e68835c93b2b1de142f30bc5665e234c36cc52df193ef7c8c9d5d5a405942c108a8590fcb1747884b7650df1bc> Colstrip Steam Electric Station, a coal-burning power plant in Colstrip, Montana. | Photo courtesy of AP Photo/Matthew Brown, File A Montana Utility's Coal Addiction Costs Ratepayers Millions <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=6ef2a19d8139c0fc4c663cde5e765e62240656719c44908e739eebfe7d5f1f80ab945d77ee049ad83f36b43d7557e1c269 42c4071c2bf0bd> While coal plants make electricity more expensive for ratepayers, keeping them open benefits investors. Almost two decades ago, Montana regulators approved a plan to overcharge customers in an effort to keep a prominent coal plant open.
