March Program Topic:
Update on Sierra Club Priority Issues in the 2025 Texas Legislature

Our speakers on March 13 will be Cyrus Reed, Conservation Director of the Lone Star Chapter Sierra Club, Matt Johnson, Chapter Deputy Director, Evgenia Spears, Water Program Coordinator, and other Chapter staff. This program will focus on how the most significant legislation affecting Sierra Club priorities is currently shaping up in the legislature. What is likely to be proposed in statewide water legislation?
How will proposed legislation impact renewable energy projects in Texas?

In 2025, we’re focused on safeguarding the future of our state’s natural resources and communities by advocating for meaningful legislative action. At this program, you’ll be briefed on our top legislative priorities, including:

  • Defending Against Renewable Energy Attacks
  • Air Quality Monitoring Initiatives
  • Grid Solutions
  • Opposing Fossil Fuel Subsidies
  • Water Protection Standards and Solutions

Local Action Matters Now More Than Ever!
In light of the national election results, our work at the state and local levels has never been more critical. As federal priorities shift, local government and state legislation are essential to advancing a sustainable, resilient Texas.

This event is designed to help you understand the legislative landscape and equip you with ways to support these efforts, whether through advocacy, community engagement, or direct action. Together, we can help push forward the policies Texas needs for a sustainable and resilient future.
