"Protect Us All, From Big to Small" Lobby Day
Thursday, May 14th, 2026; 10:00 AM
Every year, we gather in Legislative Hall in Dover and meet with legislators about issues that matter to our members and supporters at the Sierra Club Delaware Chapter. This year, the two big things on the table are holding data centers accountable and protecting our wetlands. With the theme "Protect Us All, From Big To Small", we are asking legislators to focus on the bigger picture and to address everything from big data center threats to the smaller creatures in our sensitive wetlands.
Participants will be meeting with legislators in groups and don't have to be experts on the bills to participate. Your role is to show decision makers that Delawareans care about these issues and share your personal story!

Data center threatens Delaware. We’re fighting back!
We want to call special attention to our fight against the mega data center proposed for Delaware City, which would harm its vulnerable neighbors, impact crucial wetlands, and cause electricity bills to skyrocket for Delaware families.
You can learn more about the data center here and take action here.
Would you like to get even more involved? We are currently organizing canvassing sessions in the most impacted communities directly across from the proposed data center. Anybody interested in canvassing should contact Marissa at marissa.mcclenton@sierraclub.org.
