2021 is coming to a close. Earlier this week, the Sierra Club community gathered to celebrate the enormous progress we’ve made this year in passing the Build Back Better Act, and commit together to continue taking action to protect our communities, our climate, and our freedom to vote in 2022.
If you missed the event, you check out the recap video above. Or read on for some highlights from the event and information about how you can help us make progress on key environmental and social justice issues in the new year

Our Democracy is Under AttackーBut We Can Help Defend It

Free and fair elections are under attack on multiple fronts and at a level we have never seen before.
-
In this year alone over 425 anti-voter bills were introduced in nearly every state.

Thankfully, there are solutions: The Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which will act as a sword and a shield for our democracy.

Join us every Tuesday in January for a phone-banking series to call Sierra Club members and supporters in target states to encourage them to urge their Senators to pass voting rights legislation now.

Everything we've accomplished in 2021 has only been possible because of the work of thousands of Sierra Club members and supporters like you, who lobbied your legislators, called your representatives and President Biden, joined rallies, hosted house parties, and took thousands of other actions small and large. As 2021 comes to a close, I hope you'll join us in taking a moment to rest, celebrate, and connect so we're ready to continue the work to protect our climate, communities, and democracy in 2022.
