We're living in turbulent times. Southeast communities are reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, and Florida is already preparing for another massive impact from Hurricane
Milton. Fossil fuel CEOs continue to push for more coal, oil, and gas to rake in profits, and we're facing growing threats from extremist plots like Project 2025. At the same time,
our movement has made enormous strides in the last few years with critical clean energy wins and major progress on reducing pollution. Now we are at a critical juncture. We hope you'll
join us tomorrow at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT as we gather to make sense of the current moment, talk about what this all means for the climate movement, and chart a path forward together.
Join us for a livestream to make sense of this moment and learn how you can get involved. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c91d86d2ec106f265cab19b77e8f76e4d15021d3563b5ed066f32bcac043adb11ad5c

Hurricane Helene has devastated communities from the Gulf to Appalachia, leaving entire towns displaced, millions of people without power, and hundreds of lives lost. Now, Hurricane
Milton is bearing down on Florida and immediate aid will be essential. Sierra Club staff in the regions put together this list of trusted, on-the-ground organizations that need our
support. This page will be updated with Milton resources as the situation develops.

Last week, Hurricane Helene devastated Southeast communities, and Florida is bracing for another disastrous storm, Hurricane Milton. The science is clear that these are unnatural disasters
– climate change is making storms, rainfall, and flooding more likely and more extreme. Yet only 3 percent of national TV news segments about Helene mentioned climate change. To fix
a problem, first we need to be clear about what's causing it. Major news outlets must name the connection between extreme weather events and human-caused climate change.
Demand media outlets connect climate change to their coverage of hurricanes, floods, heat waves, and other unnatural disasters. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c91d86d2ec106f2635dbeb81db1ea5a

Big Oil has known for decades that burning coal, oil, and gas would lead to more extreme weather like Hurricanes Helene and Milton. This November, we have a choice: Are we going to elect
someone who cozies up to Big Oil, promises to open up public lands for drilling, privatize the weather service, and reduce disaster funding? Or will we put Kamala Harris, a proven climate
champion, in the Oval Office to protect our families, our communities, and our future?
Join us in sending hand-written letters to swing state voters to elect Kamala Harris. Request your letters now. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c91d86d2ec106f26c98f5431537fd6b0948a8a26956a8db

How to Prepare for Extreme Weather With Community-Powered Resilience <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c91d86d2ec106f268a0e117de3047fd103ab232f04e4eb6e749355857e5e06f720bf7ee52ec67ef9e9488c2f72

As more climate change emergencies loom, we'd all be wise to fortify ourselves—and our communities—with resiliency strategies that take advantage of renewable sources of power. The best
support system for a crisis in your community is community itself. Let's tap into that other traditional power source: each other.

"Hurricanes are a waiting game. Whenever a tropical storm rises from ocean waters, we wait to see if it builds into a hurricane. If it does, we wait to see if it tracks toward Florida,
and chances are it will. Florida has 1,350 miles of coastline, more than any other state among the Lower 48."

New Federal Legislation Proposes to Make Polluters Pay for Climate Change <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c91d86d2ec106f2622f24989ec1175d81ccbdab1890feb10f484e3891b05cac8197fd4a237daaf1f6f75b

Last month, leaders in Congress put forward a bill that would require the largest fossil fuel extractors and refiners in the US, including foreign companies doing business here, to pay
into a Polluters Pay Fund. The revenue would be used to help finance climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, such as upgrading infrastructure to be more resilient to extreme weather,
mitigating the impacts of pollution in frontline communities, and providing climate-related disaster assistance.
Read on to learn how this effort will address damages caused by climate change. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c91d86d2ec106f263f942b15e56ab8af50e10221bfaafabb2b996f7ce5bfa82549e48e4b1e2234f
