Defenders Fund – Support State Lobbying
The Sierra Club is the only organization in Tennessee that employs a full-time environmental lobbyist in the General Assembly. Your contribution to the Defenders Fund of Sierra Club’s Tennessee Chapter supports this crucial work. When you make a contribution to the Chapter’s Defender Fund, 100% goes to support Conservation Director Scott Banbury. Scott works to inform our legislators and engage our local leaders in pushing back against the industries that would see our the laws that protect our natural resources dismantled. Scott mobilizes Sierra Club’s nearly 70,000 members and supporters across the state via weekly updates and action alerts to ensure legislators hear from constituents like you who understand the importance of protecting Tennessee’s environment.
Your contribution to the Defenders Fund makes Scott's work in the Tennessee General Assembly possible. You can contribute by using your credit card on our secure webpage with this special Defenders Fund link:
