The Trump administration is moving to weaken the Endangered Species Act, possibly threatening protections for vulnerable wildlife and opening the door to habitat loss and extinction—even as broad bipartisan support for the ESA remains strong nationwide.

This week, the House is voting on measures that would open the Arctic and other irreplaceable places to destructive oil and gas leasing. We need to speak up.

This week we are honoring and uplifting the courage, service and sacrifice of our military veterans — and we're especially proud of how getting outside, together, can make a difference.

This weekend, the New York Times ran a story claiming Sierra Club’s values have diluted our mission. They couldn’t be more wrong. The list of their errors is too long for one social post, but we go over some examples in these slides.

The Florida wildlife commission has approved a bear hunt despite the objections of Floridians. Even the state agency has debunked one of the primary justifications for the hunt, which is that bears will run out of habitat. Now, advocates are mounting a novel way to save the state’s bears.

In 2024, the planet crossed what many scientists consider a dangerous threshold: It warmed to about 1.55 °C above pre-industrial levels, passing the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C threshold. That same year, American utility companies largely failed to do their part to ramp down fossil fuel usage.

With the federal government shut down, states aren’t getting the funds they need to help low-income families pay rising utility bills. Power shut-offs during extreme weather can be deadly.

We’re calling on utilities to keep the lights on during the shutdown. ⚡️

These migratory birds were leaving New York and never returning. Their disappearance stumped the researchers who banded them. However, their discovery led to an unlikely partnership between a coastal Brazilian community and an ornithologist in the US.

In March, an EPA official told a Ford executive, “Although I am recused from Ford issues, you always have a friend here.” Then, Trump banned states from setting vehicle emissions standards.

For decades, this small but mighty Arctic research collective shaped what we know about the fastest-warming region on Earth—linking scientists, funding studies, and uplifting Indigenous knowledge. Last month, it shut down after federal funding was cut.

In an unprecedented move, Senate Republicans just voted to erase public land plans in AK, MT, and ND, all to benefit corporate polluters. And they're not done yet: similar resolutions have already been introduced. Tell your members of Congress to choose the people over polluters: sc.org/LandsAction

Trump shut down the federal government, but ordered national parks to stay open.

"Forcing national parks to operate without sufficient support, simply to maintain the illusion of openness, puts visitors, staff, and the land at risk." @JackieOstfeld.bsky.social

Trump just handed $625M to Big Coal + opened millions of acres for mining. Meanwhile, utilities are STILL clinging to expensive fossil fuels. Our 5th Dirty Truth report shows the cost is falling on families. #DirtyTruthReport sc.org/dirtytruth

This bill gives every 4th & 5th grader, and their families, free entry to our national parks & public lands. This is crucial to ensuring that all kids can get outdoors. 🌳💧⛰️

If there’s one thing Donald Trump knows, it’s con jobs and scams. But while he’s busy running them, millions of everyday Americans are affected by devastating extreme weather events, rising insurance rates, tougher farming conditions, and worsening air quality.
