Earth Jam 2025

Sierrans and allies celebrate Earth Day at Earth Jam 2025.

About the Sierra Club: Founded by legendary conservationist John Muir in 1893, the Sierra Club is the most enduring and influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States. We amplify the power of our millions of members and supporters to defend everyone’s right to a healthy world. The Sierra Club's 3.5 million members and supporters are spread across 64 chapters, including the Georgia Chapter, and more than 400 local groups. Our successes range from protecting millions of acres of wilderness to helping pass the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act. We've led the charge to move away from dirty fossil fuels that cause climate disruption and toward a clean energy economy. 

About the Sierra Club Georgia Chapter: In the summer of 2023, the Sierra Club Georgia Chapter celebrated 40 years of protecting Georgia’s beautiful and unique landscape. Our chapter is the largest grassroots environmental organization in the state of Georgia, and our members and supporters include more than 75,000 of your friends and neighbors. We have five active Local Groups and a robust outings program led by amazing volunteers. Our ongoing campaigns include efforts to improve transportation, protect our wild places, and advance a just and equitable transition to clean energy. Inspired by nature, we are working together to protect our communities and the planet.
