Dear John,
Tomorrow, the world will watch a 34-time convicted felon be sworn in as President of the United States.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the news cycle right now, you are not alone. We are feeling it too -- we bet most of us are. It feels a lot like grief. Grief for the future we envisioned
under a different leader. Grief for the life we are continuously fighting for and the long road ahead of us.
The next four years are going to be hard, but despair is not an option. As we get ready to fight back, we need to know if we can call on you for key organizing moments. Add your name
-- pledge to fight for our future. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=35c33e0a8a1f347d2e45caa684d33dcca958d2baa426aecb91e6bb522cf68704d8b8e79df7cafdc9bb726a5cbd3903cae927a7da4f6b65f8c73d9302e02

The first few months of the Trump presidency will be critical to pushing back against dangerous authoritarianism, blocking his efforts to strip endangered species of their protection,
and defending the clean energy programs we so urgently need to fight runaway climate change.
In addition to the devastating policies his administration is planning to enact under Project 2025, they have assumed a scorched earth environmental policy even as Los Angeles continues
to burn. All while oil and gas CEOs grow richer at the expense of everyday people and our future.
Corporations and the politicians in their pockets want us to feel demoralized and discouraged, to give into hopelessness and despair. They want us to feel small and fractured so that
we don't fight back. But the moral arc of the universe is long, and the environmental movement will do what it has always done: rise together.
Action is the antidote to despair. Join us. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=35c33e0a8a1f347d89f4ed772b3c2f3115fdeff0e405c0b2714e1d711c7868de9f1750cff87744a8ed7fc4ee6dfd547da5babfe837e526a1f61

We can't do this work alone, and we were never meant to. Thousands of people came together yesterday for the People's March in Washington, D.C. and all around the country. Those footsteps
are echoes of protests that have changed the course of history. As President Biden said in his Oval Office address, “History is in your hands.”
Today, we'll take a second to breathe. Tomorrow, we'll show up to fight for each other and for our collective future. We don't know what the next few years will hold, but we will all
need to be ready to act -- maybe through signing a petition <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=35c33e0a8a1f347d1c613037f64f36c016f93902aefd0e034069b376accb4c70f2491b26a9c91ecb98a50ae36c9c5ebe0a
