Dear John,
BIG. NEWS. After years of advocacy and grassroots pressure, President Biden responded to our overwhelming pressure and just announced the American Climate Corps!
This is a big deal. This executive action creates a massive green jobs training and placement program that will build pathways for good, union careers to tackle the climate crisis. There's
so much work to be done to build the clean energy economy, make our communities more resilient to extreme weather, clean up air and water pollution, and close the nature equity gap
- and this program will create 20,000 new jobs to do exactly that.
One thing's for sure: It never would have been possible without the advocacy from hundreds of thousands of people signing petitions, sharing on social media, and marching for climate
action. The Sierra Club and our broader movement have been calling on President Biden to create a green jobs program since his inauguration, and this victory is a testament to our collective
work.

This program will prioritize the communities most harmed by pollution and climate impacts, and create pathways to family-sustaining careers in the public and private sectors. It will
train and mobilize a diverse generation of young people in conservation and climate resilience related work, from restoring coastal wetlands to planting trees in communities suffering
from extreme heat to deploying clean energy and more.
After a summer of devastating climate disasters, this is exactly the kind of bold action we so urgently need. To everyone who marched, phonebanked, and advocated for climate action -
this victory belongs to all of us.
Join us in celebrating this big win on social media. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=8d294d58299f8941e7ab75a5960ce0e79a51b1971c5464503a7deae7a99f101a247691394ad253aca97db96e9f8c69652e25f2777e
