Advocacy, Community, and Craft Beer
The 2025 legislative session is here, and decisions made at the Capitol will have lasting impacts on Texans and the environment. Now more than ever, it’s essential for Texans to make their voices heard. But advocacy doesn’t have to be intimidating or complicated. The Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter is making civic engagement accessible, enjoyable, and impactful with the Sierra Club Texas Takeover at Lazy Beach Downtown on March 1, 2025, from 12 PM to 4 PM in Corpus Christi. This event blends advocacy with community connection, all in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Why This Event Matters
The Power of Grassroots Advocacy
Engaging with your legislators is one of the most effective ways to influence environmental policies. The decisions made during the legislative session will impact everything from Texas’ air and water quality to its energy future. By participating in a Sierra Club Texas Takeover, you’ll be taking tangible steps to protect our state’s natural resources and ensure a sustainable future.
