Victory! The Most Significant Climate Rule in U.S. History <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7d9c5dcbe76bcb7c54f28430c605cca26c946b03bfecd8bde60714ce6c61ca0fd7914333a6e8d55f5dee4c4dc4083761668f

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced last week that it will dramatically strengthen emissions standards for passenger cars and trucks – a major win that will protect our
air and climate from toxic pollution. When advocates like you speak out, our leaders listen. Now is the time to keep this progress going and demand even more concrete action to reduce
carbon emissions even further.
Tell Congress: Increase funding for affordable, quality public transportation nationwide to reduce toxic vehicle emissions and protect public health. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7d9c5dcbe

Don't Let Corporations Give More Money to Fossil Fuels <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=7d9c5dcbe76bcb7cc427255fc7a9d46c848729487bbd52e8e3dd2514b6d5a55855348339bc95574129f5d04455645c84c691028b

Right now some of the world’s largest corporations are preparing to vote on proposals that will decide which fossil fuel projects get funded and then built in the year ahead. These corporations’
funds are often managed by state treasurers and pension boards, who answer to everyday people like you. Your voice is crucial in pressuring corporate decisions towards climate-friendly
solutions.
Act Now: Tell your state pension fund to vote for climate action, NOT more fossil fuel destruction. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=50f43b5ab137f7ab17ff34d1ed1b301b31760513dd79e9773a31b9ae1a1

One of the country’s largest freshwater ecosystems is on the verge of disaster in Georgia as a mining corporation prepares to move ahead with dangerous mining in its ecologically vibrant
wetlands. If it succeeds, the project will contaminate the local fresh water supply and destroy vital habitats that are home to black bears and threatened species like the gopher tortoise
and gopher frog.
Save the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge before it’s too late – tell the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to deny mining permits immediately. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=50f4

The country’s first commercial offshore wind farm became fully operational this month. Twelve turbines located off the coast of Long Island are now generating enough electricity to power
more than 70,000 homes! The South Fork Wind wind farm is a landmark step in our nation’s path to sustainability – but future projects like this are at risk if we let the fossil fuel
industry pour millions of dollars into misinformation campaigns about clean energy.
Fight back against fossil fuel lies: Tell state leaders we want more support for offshore wind and renewable energy. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=50f43b5ab137f7ab7b1c0b53f9626cb638e59a1705

During Women’s History Month, we’ve been celebrating the adventurous women of the Sierra Club, who have been blazing trails (literally!) for decades. This year marks the 40th anniversary
of our very first backpacking trip designed for women. Now you can be a part of this incredible legacy by joining one of our 2024 Women’s Trips to hike through California’s majestic
redwoods, go whale watching off the Massachusetts coast, and more.
Check out this year’s trips for female explorers, and reserve your spot before spaces book up. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=a675e88f0f2abac7da174321661872e7d93fc1fa5d5cd1751d1a57a4fa84bdba

It’s easy to get caught up in our human-centered daily lives – so when deer munch on our carefully cultivated gardens or a coyote dines on an unleashed chihuahua, it may feel like a
shocking clash of worlds. But making efforts to coexist and share our ecosystems can be beneficial to humans and animals alike.

A Scientist Fired for Climate Activism – She’s Still Fighting Back <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=174b39db197f0b34512e90d9d6acdad69e20a61b9efb32f14bddb4140d5eeae2300febb8ce068794cc3e827b5652

With a warm smile and glasses, Rose Abramoff doesn’t look like a troublemaker – but in 2022 she became one of a handful of federal scientists to lose their job because of their climate
change activism. “I’m all for decorum,” she says, “but not when it will cost us the earth.”
Read more about Abramoff’s journey as an activist and how she’s harnessing nonviolent direct action to drive change. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=174b39db197f0b34de3026b8f16bf91c60c85492b9
