Save AmeriCorps and Protect Outdoor Access for Young People <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12b385e50b5bd94d98f20bece7eea44bc4d343aa735264d8a25258df2b45b5ff3cd5e40c4127263b923e8c99a7df3bf79d4

AmeriCorps is a critical program that connects our country's youth to the outdoors by creating jobs in conservation, disaster relief, and the outdoors. However, the Trump administration
has slashed AmeriCorps' budget along with other federal funding cuts, putting 85 percent of its staff on leave and threatening the well-being of young people and their communities.
Millions of organizations, including the Sierra Club's Outdoors Alliance for Kids, rely on AmeriCorps for getting young people outdoors and creating a new generation of environmental
stewards. It is also an essential program for equipping young people with the skills, training, and jobs to sustain our country's public lands and outdoors economy. Help reinstate AmeriCorps
funding and demand that this critical workforce be rehired. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12b385e50b5bd94db3b3b7b0fcbbbb6275e59517d8654a6a2f2ac3da7b66df6c4cbced0725217f9f736f40dfc25bf212eb

What Matters More: Our Future or Billionaire Tax Cuts? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12b385e50b5bd94d3afa14b4293f009c2a33e3e9d64f3f953b6d4f63dc9e758922ed1bd0ae07677c81f3821769f1c613a4b8febf

Trump and Republicans in Congress are attempting to make drastic cuts to clean energy funding, climate action, public lands protections, and other essential programs we rely on. The
worst part? They are doing this so that billionaires and corporate polluters can have bigger tax breaks.
We can't allow them to pass a reckless budget bill that sacrifices our future for billionaire handouts -- send your message to Congress now! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12b385e50b5bd94d00

Tell Congress to Protect Funding for Clean School Buses <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12b385e50b5bd94d2ad7d94c0cfa3207edee340a87f036bd1f42677a60ec570bc0d2ce2d795f38118e37f945c9cd0778d12d28f

Children across the nation rely on school buses to get to and from school. The majority of these buses are diesel, which emit toxic air pollution and harm the health of kids and school
drivers every day. Congress is currently looking at taking away $2 billion previously allocated for replacing old school buses with cleaner, healthier ones.
Send a message telling them to protect our children and clean air by protecting electric school bus funding. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=12b385e50b5bd94d08563b6e269d5c589cdc6ec403aa90db2f

President Trump's cuts to the federal workforce are jeopardizing efforts to save at-risk species. At the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which is charged with managing threatened and endangered
species, the loss of some of the most experienced employees has already created knowledge gaps and disruption at the agency.

PFAS, highly toxic chemicals.
