"If you were to do a quick scan of this administration's actions and statements over its first four weeks in office, you would see a clear list of national priorities it is willing to
sacrifice for tax cuts for billionaires," Ben Jealous, the Sierra Club's executive director, writes in his latest column. "What would also stand out are the lengths to which this administration
is willing to go in its efforts to skirt the law and inflict harm on American communities."

Elon Musk's DOGE team has fired thousands of rangers, docents, educators, scientists, and caretakers of the National Park Service, US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and
Bureau of Land Management. These mass firings will hurt protected lands, wildlife, and visitors unless they are reversed.
Tell Congress to stand up for park staff and to roll back these devastating job cuts. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c21d020dd5d926db7487ecce90b5d7094f86028c560c5dc3ddf1c116948276aa99cdc0409

Thanks to pressure from thousands of advocates like you, the Biden administration took action to stop dangerous methane gas leaks. Now, Congress is considering rolling this back to make
oil and gas donors happy. Methane gas leaks are highly toxic, expensive, and one of the largest contributors to deadly climate change.
Congress is voting as soon as tomorrow! Call your House representative and ask them to put our health, safety, and economy first by protecting the Methane Waste Emissions Charge rule
and voting no on H.J.Res 35, which would roll back protections. 844-956-9855 <tel:18449569855> . (Here are talking points <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c21d020dd5d926dbb0d9a6edd3099c6b224d

The Trump administration has fired 1,000 National Park Service employees and appointed a head of US Fish and Wildlife with a history of dismantling wildlife protections, continuing the
trend of replacing public servants with corporate cronies. These actions threaten our safety, health, and beloved public lands.

LA Fires Spark Confusion and Concern Over Water Quality and Supply <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=c21d020dd5d926db99cf5ebd8af2ed7016b0a663fb39ddab8ee5e4759d5c1c324df1152bda674631d478c233f58c

As firefighters started to gain control of LA's wildfires, a wave of disinformation and misinformation compounded the crisis, some of it propagated directly from President Trump and
his polluter allies. Their words have caused significant disinformation around California's most precious resource: water.

With federal climate action in constant flux, states are developing their own regulations. Local climate Superfund laws, modeled after a federal pollution Superfund law, would require
fossil fuel companies to pay for their role in exacerbating climate change. New York is the latest state to enact such a law, and others seem poised to follow.

Catherine Coleman Flowers is a MacArthur Fellow (a.k.a. genius grant recipient), an author, and a vice chair of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council. Her biggest focus
is on the looming wastewater crisis in her home state of Alabama. A passion for social justice runs in Flowers's family. Both her dad, an army veteran who worked in sales, and her mom,
a school bus driver and a teacher's aide, were active in the civil rights movement.
