Trump Wants to Rescind the Roadless Rule. What Does That Mean?

Origami Fish Are Helping Protect Our Future

Earlier this month we set the world record for the largest display of origami fish -- over 86,000! The Sierra Club Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Illinois Chapters, our Beyond Dirty Fuels Campaign and partner organizations came together to fight back against pipelines and protect  the Great Lakes, which provide drinking water for over 40 million people. 

Will you help us act to help shut down the polluting Line 5 pipeline once and for all?

We Won't Let Trump Silence Science

One of our most powerful environmental protection laws is on the chopping block. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) ensures communities can speak up when dangerous projects -- like pipelines, mines, and highways -- threaten our air, water, and public lands. But Trump's administration wants to silence our voices, ignore science, and fast-track pollution.

We can't let that happen. Demand a full environmental review process that puts people, not polluters, first.

Pollution Rollbacks Threaten Our Future

Our climate, our economy, and our health are all at stake. The Trump administration is in the process of tearing down critical protections that limit mercury and carbon pollution from coal and gas plants, exposing millions of Americans to toxic air and water while padding the profits of corporate polluters. These rollbacks aren’t just policy changes -- they're a betrayal of our government's promise to protect us from environmental harms.

We need your help to spread the word.

States Step In After the Supreme Court Puts Wetlands at Risk

A devastating 2023 Supreme Court ruling gutted federal protections for millions of acres of wetlands -- threatening ecosystems, clean water, and flood control. Now, it's up to the states to step in. Some are rising to the challenge. Others are leaving their wetlands vulnerable to being drained, paved, or polluted.

Learn more about this patchwork of water protections as only some states take action.
