Dear If you don't protect Southern California from the health and safety impacts of dirty energy, who will?
Major policy decisions that reinforce our short-sighted reliance on dirty energy are looming. You can help the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter respond by working on initiatives to protect local communities and the environment. We need to raise $20,000 by March 10! Will you help us protect Southern California's wild legacy and promote a clean energy future? For over 100 years, the Angeles Chapter has been working to protect the local environment, and the challenges we face have never been greater. You can make the crucial difference for the organization's level of activities, our outings programs and environmental protection efforts. The challenges we face in 2014 have never been so important. Your donation to the Angeles Chapter is spent directly on advocating for environmental concerns in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Without your financial support, many local environmental issues could go unaddressed. Members like Yvonne Watson help us fight Big Oil in local communities. This stay-at-home-mom has become a Sierra Club leader working to oppose housing in an active oil field. Her own struggles with asthma motivated her involvement in fighting the development. A recent spill at the site contaminated the local waterway and underscored concerns about building homes in the oil field. "Driving through the area, you could smell the crude oil in the air. Yvonne's activism highlights what the Sierra Club Angeles Chapter offers concerned residents. Your contributions will ensure that we can continue to advocate for environmental protections and empower members like Yvonne. With your help, we can multiply our efforts through community-based grassroots activism in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Sincerely,
P.S. Less than $1 of your annual membership dues comes to the Angeles Chapter. We rely heavily upon your direct donation to fund our important local work.
