As Record Heat Worsens, We Must Protect Relief Programs <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjN9AAcAAAAAA2LhPpVWkPircrL2GbE2U5syE-_qEGlJ8cL_khR5wqOCBYAS0vGvj-TQtCM4vapMVhQT_Lv

This week's heat wave is breaking records across the globe, including a "heat dome" over most of the country that will continue into the upcoming holiday weekend. Extreme heat is one
of the most dangerous types of weather-related hazards in the United States. Now more than ever, we need to fund disaster relief and response programs to protect our families and communities
from unnatural disasters caused by climate change. Yet again and again, Trump and his corrupt administration have attempted to cut agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management
Agency and National Weather Service that exist to be our first line of defense.
Demand that federal disaster response is fully funded! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjN9AAcAAAAAA2LhPpVX9VabHkAbePLHK4XH14f2khYbLwfz3T4t6zfxYnTEVYYe-UTg4dQlzabZpNehMx1t

Artificial intelligence is fueling a massive boom in data centers, and these facilities require enormous amounts of resources and electricity. The decisions being made this summer by
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will determine who pays for the electricity and grid upgrades that these massive facilities require: Big Tech or American households.
Use your voice to protect households from higher energy bills. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjN9AAcAAAAAA2LhPpVbcTMXTZMthpBRk1EVEe2aG8QQ3a3PxVVAJgMhkDirN_D5v3-CqyPRCsGW

This summer, join us for free monthly virtual screenings of Vs. Goliath -- an award-winning documentary series that follows everyday Americans fighting the billion-dollar fossil fuel
industry for their communities' futures. Our first episode features Sharon Lavigne, a special-education teacher and grandmother battling the continent's largest plastic plant in St.
James Parish, Louisiana, a region dubbed "Cancer Alley." Following the film, join Sharon, Bill McKibben, and others for a live Q&A.
RSVP to join the virtual screening and discussion on July 7. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjN9AAcAAAAAA2LhPpVe-BtympXsyQG6zC7dbfoxN2o0rnBOVVMVfJKU4-OZFHFCB18yiBDungE7v3

Right now, the Trump administration is seeking to fast-track oil and gas permitting in the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska, the largest swath of public land in the US. If permitting
is approved here, it could lead to opening up public lands in the rest of the country.
Act now: Our public lands belong to us, not polluting corporations and the politicians in their pockets. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjN9AAcAAAAAA2LhPpVhByWRXwArjhzs65

Earlier this month, Utah lawmakers tried to gut protections for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. After thousands of calls, emails, social posts, and in-person actions
from supporters like you, the clock ran out and their fast-track plan failed.

Most people never forget the experience of seeing a California condor in the wild. But it's a rare sight. Thanks to the work of Bill Toone, a former bird curator at the San Diego Zoo,
and a nearby puppet theater, the number of condors continues to grow.
See how just one person can make a difference. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjN9AAcAAAAAA2LhPpVqqMgOBEkVYPgSawItwsDmSBFXPDHVQHVi8qqZ9SbJP10gUulPgidNNTGKnAMVtLmPRhJQOdSx

Officials in a New York county are saying that a proposed data center on the doorstep of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation is a done deal. But the Indigenous community says the plan has several
unresolved issues that must be addressed before the project moves forward.
Find out how residents and organizers are hoping to use this public process to move decision-makers. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjQ5MjN9AAcAAAAAA2LhPpVwEsmJcJWWkXX3pZC-lm
