Hi there! Thank you for pausing a few minutes to see what the Sierra Club does in the politics of the Houston region and how you can participate. I'm Doug Peterson, lead of our local political team, and member of the Sierra Club Lonestar Chapter Political Committee statewide. I invite you to check it out!
Considering the current chaos and outright attacks on the environment, environmental rules and our lives, we are advancing Sierra’s already major efforts to support political candidates that work hard to protect our air and water quality, land, forests, parks, and animals in the wild: bears, wolves, turtles, birds, fish and more broadly, climate change, conservation, energy, flooding and more.
I invite you to join our Political Team to meet other people like you, to work together and turn the tide back from the current chaos brought by 2024 elections. We are working together to attend and create events, reach out to build teams, communicate issues and solutions - all to get our nation and state back on track for the environment and related progressive values.
Probably like you, I support the big protests happening around the country and here in the Houston region. These non-partisan events generate new excitement talking to people about problems and solutions, organizing groups and events, conferring with candidates and working hard to win. We’re organized to do these things, especially with your help!
You can interact and meet movers and shakers of politics and environmental affairs such as mayors, city council members, county commissioners, and other office holders.
If you haven’t participated in political activities don’t worry, you’ll learn a lot on a very fast learning curve, just like everyone’s initial experience.
Don’t hesitate. Join this swelling new wave of volunteers and Sierra Club members. You’ll experience the thrill of taking on civic challenges and winning! We’ll make history this year!
Our environment needs your help. Jump in and find out the difference you can make!

I look forward to meeting you and working together to get Texas and America back on track!
