Sierra Club Action Hours

Sierra Club's Virtual Action Hours are a place for concerned and overwhelmed people to make sense of what Trump is throwing at us and take meaningful action together. In one hour a month, you'll get the key updates you need to know and take collective action to resist the Trump administration and their corporate polluter allies.

These interactive gatherings will take place virtually, so you can join from wherever you live and take action alongside thousands of other Sierra Club advocates.

Our next Action Hour takes place on April 14 as we celebrate Earth Month and work to protect the Endangered Species Act!

Learn More about the Inflation Reduction Act

In the first Climate Action Hour, Sierra Club policy experts gave us a quick rundown about the state of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022 during the Biden administration represented the largest-ever climate legislation in U.S. history. It only happened thanks to decades of grassroots movement building and growing public pressure that pushed climate action from the bottom of the to-do list to a top national priority.

While the Trump administration has attacked the IRA, many Republicans oppose the repeal of this legislation because of the investment and job growth they've seen in their districts. This means there is a strong chance of protecting these clean energy policies if we take action and apply pressure. Read more about the IRA here.

Get involved locally

Across the nation, local state-based chapters bring like-minded people together to organize and connect. Even during uncertain times at the federal level, we can advance renewable energy solutions, advocate for clean air and water, protect wildlife and natural spaces, and engage in lobbying at your state legislature to make sure our voices are heard.
