Friend,

Climate change is here -- and it's fueling unnatural disasters that threaten the people and places we love. From soaring temperatures to stronger storms and devastating floods, extreme weather is accelerating in both frequency and severity.

Every time a climate disaster strikes, taxpayers foot the bill while fossil fuel companies profit.

But it doesn't have to be this way. We already have the solutions we need to reduce climate pollution, build a clean energy future, and help communities prepare and thrive in the face of disasters.

That's why we're inviting you to join September's Virtual Action Hour: Defend Our Communities from Climate Disasters.

Why are we talking about climate disasters this month?

From Los Angeles to Texas to North Carolina, millions of Americans are feeling the impacts of extreme weather. But instead of providing support, the Trump Administration has been slashing critical relief programs and the National Weather Service, while doubling down on the fossil fuel pollution that's making these climate disasters worse, harming communities, and increasing costs for everyday people. 

However, we can provide our communities with the support they need by holding polluters accountable and making them pay. These funds will protect our communities from climate disasters while ensuring that taxpayers aren't left to bear the burden of corporate pollution.

During our action hour together, we'll:

• Learn how we can prepare our communities for extreme weather
• Hold the corporate polluters responsible for the damage they've caused
• Connect with hundreds of Sierra Club members and advocates like you

Since unnatural disasters are so close to home, we encourage you to do something a bit different this action hour by hosting a small watch party with friends or family who live nearby. Let us know you'll be joining and invite one or two neighbors here.

These interactive meetings take place virtually, so you can join from wherever you live or work alongside hundreds of other Sierra Club advocates. In each Sierra Club Action Hour, you'll get the latest updates on Trump's destructive agenda and how you can take meaningful action against it in just one hour per month. 

WHAT: Action Hour to protect our communities and make polluters pay
WHERE: Online -- join from wherever you are!
WHEN: Tuesday, Sep 16, at 4 pm PT/ 7 pm ET 

Can't make it live? No problem. RSVP anyway, and we'll send you the recording along with instructions so you can take action at your convenience.

Together we can turn the tide on climate disasters, but only if we act. Thank you for standing with us to defend our communities.

In Solidarity,
Sierra Club
