BREAKING INVESTIGATION: Dark-Money Lobbyists Attack Clean Energy <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1b91642df4c5d14fd27d7b97d69d9315bf0bf8560e2e28fd4e276d685ace595c65dea2e474df1851

reveals that right-wing climate deniers and fossil fuel shills are pouring millions of dollars into coordinated campaigns to spread disinformation about clean energy. Offshore wind
development is one of their key targets -- threatening a slate of upcoming offshore wind projects that are up for approval by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. We need to push
back NOW against the fossil fuel industry's dirty tricks, and ensure more renewable energy projects move forward.
Tell the Biden Admin: Approve more offshore wind projects that will create good jobs and fight climate change. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1bf3b3e9d000703ee22ee79e115a369c75

Tell Biden: Expand Joshua Tree National Park and Protect Desert Lands <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1bbbf23887443fa472cf2e4ccea48e47166e039c4d5a675db08a1278ad0f2a727dc23207652

Our nation's desert communities and ecosystems are struggling against the triple threat of air pollution, overdevelopment, and the climate crisis. President Biden can protect more than
650,000 acres of critically important desert habitat by approving the proposed Chuckwalla National Monument in California and expanding Joshua Tree National Park. Local communities
are pushing hard for the new and expanded monuments -- now they need our support to make it a reality.
Add your name: Demand that President Biden designate Chuckwalla National Monument and secure protections for its communities and wildlife. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1b7ad2

Your Retirement Savings Are Financing Fossil Fuels -- Push Back Now <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1b3d8e0726c2069b7d01cee6bd243ae23aaeb5553718626391e7f77dce5cb91f62f4409da532e

Fossil fuel expansion can't happen without major financial backing -- which is why it's outrageous that some of Wall Street's largest asset managers are using everyday people’s investments
and retirement savings to fund destructive development like the Willow project in the Arctic. We need to raise our voices now and demand an end to the reckless profiteering that puts
ALL of our futures at risk.
Tell Wall Street: Stop using OUR money to make the climate crisis even worse. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1b1c2ef1625f006b28394806a123212e563530f8cd30f1c01a4d771b05cce7cde0e

Gray Wolves Are Being Shot and Killed -- Help Them <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1b0bda3c97e18488d87ede3d1c125e4cf7223d3ccc4497a6a2124ae02f166e2279b84e1d565a8b29879fcb31292788

Barbaric state laws in the Northern Rockies region currently allow hunters to use snaring, baiting, and other cruel tactics to kill gray wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just
dealt a devastating blow to the wolves' survival when it rejected a petition to restore their endangered species protections -- we need your support to fight back.
Make a gift to our Spring Wildlife Drive before the March 14 deadline and help ensure wolves and other endangered species get the protections they need to thrive. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/

Has Dune's Environmental Parable Been Lost in Translation? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1b1830c0d13b1850a1a2b5beb114ab1c39e824bbaf235739507638a37febb08a0b880fbd114e92f82296b8

Beneath the surface-level story about space witches and giant sandworms, Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi novel is a love letter to the desert. But the book’s strong environmental message
and ecological themes have been watered down in the latest film adaptation, now in theaters.
Read on for our contributor's take on how filmmakers have failed to capture the ecological heart of this complex story. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7b033f9e1f53ad1b289744e9bb9f1801d9861c0

Residents of Louisiana's Cameron Parish watched their community transform as the area became central to the rapid expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. Our reporter joined
some of the locals for a cookout to learn more about what it's like to live next door to one of the largest fossil fuel buildouts in history.
