The Legislative Team for the Sierra Club, Kentucky Chapter is preparing for the upcoming 2025 Legislative Session. As we approach the start of this year's legislative session, we want to take a moment to share our key priorities and let you know how important your ongoing engagement is. Let’s work together during the 2025 legislative session to turn responsible environmental legislation into law.
The Kentucky Chapter is committed to advancing environmental justice, focusing on legislation that addresses the needs of underserved communities and promotes policies that protect our environment while improving the quality of life for all Kentuckians. We believe that these issues are interconnected, and the solutions we advocate for will ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone in our state.
Our Kentucky Chapter’s Priority Issues:
Outdoor Recreation: Expanding tourism and recreational spaces in Eastern Kentucky, supporting multi-use public lands, and increasing urban green spaces & outdoor access for veterans.
Resilient Communities: Promoting responsible, transit oriented, resilient development, affordable housing, sustainable agriculture, and energy conservation.
Clean Energy: Supporting sustainable energy programs, community solar systems, and the modernization of the electric grid.
Clean Water: Addressing pollution in Kentucky’s waterways and improving water purification systems.
Land Conservation: Protecting biodiversity, reforesting, and expanding nature preserves and wetland areas.
Stay Engaged – We Need You! Throughout this session, we will be reaching out with important updates and action alerts. Your voice is crucial, and we hope you’ll stay involved as we advocate for these priorities. Whether it’s making calls, sending emails, or attending events, every action counts.
This is an excellent opportunity to preserve Kentucky, protect Kentucky, and enjoy Kentucky for the equitable benefit of all citizens in our Commonwealth.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to working alongside you in the coming year!
