The Time to Ensure a Livable Planet Is Now
After years of dedicated campaigning on many fronts, we find ourselves on the precipice of seeing Congress pass the largest investment in climate action, clean energy, and environmental justice in history. Recently, the Sierra Club held a field call with staff and volunteer leaders on which serious concerns were raised regarding the oil and gas leasing provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 as proposed. I feel those concerns in my bones. My father worked in fossil fuels, I have spent my career working with communities subjected to multi-generational impacts by the cruelty and killing wrought by the fossil fuel industry. I want every local leader, every volunteer, and every supporter to know that the leadership of the Sierra Club hears and shares these extremely valid concerns about the provisions in this bill that would force continued leasing for oil and gas extraction. We are also immensely grateful to our community who called or met with your members of Congress, wrote a letter to the editor, attended a protest, donated, or talked to your friends and family to build momentum for the positive things in the IRA. We wouldn't have made it to this point if it wasn't for the hard work and dedication of our grassroots leaders, chapters, and organizers who built an intersectional movement that helped redefine what is possible.

Day in and day out, they earned a hefty salary, but as you look back at your life, you won’t think about how much money you made. You’ll think about the meaningful things you accomplished. If your professional life revolved around your paycheck, you may not have something meaningful to reflect on.
