Grassroots Action, Powerful Reach. Local Groups serve smaller geographic areas within the state. Each group carries out the Sierra Club’s mission at the grassroots level. Some of the activities may include promoting conservation, developing campaigns, organizing outings, educating and engaging members, endorsing local political candidates. They hold regular meetings that may have a range of topics from education to engagement to just plain fun. Local Groups are a great way to get to know the activists who live near you, and engage powerfully in the local issues that matter. Each Group also appoints a delegate to represent the interests of the Group on the Chapter Executive Committee.
