Project 2025 is the far-right’s playbook for an authoritarian administration the likes of which have never been seen in America before. It would open the door to corruption and make
it even harder for the American people to have a say in our government and its policies.
This dangerous plot would threaten our democratic institutions and freedoms, and give corporate polluters the keys to our government, allowing them to rewrite our laws, bypass Congress,
and undermine the will of the people.

Protect the Energy Efficiency Standards That Save Us Money! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=15000012f36e6ac6f26d90a872bdb1764cb040d923818911a1637deb9cb2fe00706f995a863c654c17f00b7a06687986b12

This past spring, the federal government adopted a slew of new energy-saving measures for household appliances and newly built homes. These new building codes and standards will save
homeowners and renters alike hundreds of dollars on utility bills and other energy costs. But the gas industry, the National Association of Home Builders, and other lobby groups have
identified these energy efficiency regulations as their top target to dismantle.
Tell Congress to ignore these big money lobbyists and protect the energy-saving measures that benefit our climate and our pocketbooks. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=15000012f36e6ac64f523cfa

Climate Wake-Up Call: Business as Usual Is Not Good Enough <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=15000012f36e6ac681adde94953366be7855f7a55e4d10e85bf39090822c76bf36f4402f230508ca7aa53b188a7fb5639046

Hurricane Beryl, the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record, has left a path of destruction across the Caribbean, Texas, and the East Coast. The storm left millions of families in Texas
without power again, displacing communities and costing at least $1 billion in damages. These unnaturally strong storms are a stark reminder of the urgent need to act on climate change.
We can create a different future and prevent storms from getting stronger and more deadly each year.

You Can Help Shut Down 15 More Coal Plants in 2024 <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=15000012f36e6ac6dbfdecb774f12fd03db78967a39a40a6476d4a685848e6cc0d9f12a9eb79a578e7c5501692bf8f0d8e422f27b810

Coal poisons every part of our environment – the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil we grow our food in. There are still 146 coal plants remaining across the US – each
of them still spewing toxic pollution into our atmosphere. The Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign has an ambitious goal to shut down every last dirty coal plant in the country – and
to get there, we need to retire 15 more coal plants before the end of this year.
Step up and make a gift today to help us power this work and shut down more dangerous, polluting coal plants in 2024. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=15000012f36e6ac63b9a721f27a6696a802e30ec3

At the close of its most recent term, the Supreme Court issued a flurry of decisions sharply limiting government agencies' ability to implement the law – including commonsense measures
that protect our environment and public health. These decisions reveal a Court unwilling to trust its co-equal branches of government – and eager to make unprecedented expansions of
its own power.
Learn more about how the Court’s recent decisions will have far-reaching consequences for our government and our planet. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=15000012f36e6ac6a88bf85fafcfc1469ca83a

Summer brings to mind camping, fishing, hiking, and pretty much all things fun. But with steadily rising temperatures and heat waves impacting communities across the country, it's important
to take proper precautions when heading outdoors.
Here's what you need to know about safely hiking in the heat. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=15000012f36e6ac6f980386ab9faa80982292bc6ac99c45329873365371354e0523f5e9b57663f151281fadf310f406bc
