Sierra Club - Vermont Chapter

The challenges we face—from climate change to affordability—require leadership willing to take on powerful interests and fight for the common good. I’m proud to have the Sierra Club’s endorsement and support as we work to build a better future for Vermonters, now and for generations to come.

Long before it became a federal holiday, Juneteenth lived in Black memory, Black prayer, Black churches, Black parks, Black family reunions, and Black joy. It is more than a celebration of emancipation—it is a demand that we tell the truth about who built this country, who continues to shape it, and why protecting Black freedom strengthens democracy for everyone.

Environmental justice is not separate from democracy. Communities cannot protect their air, water, land, or health if they are denied political power, stripped of historical truth, or pushed out of public decision-making. That is why Juneteenth belongs in environmental work. Because freedom has a geography. It lives in our lungs, our water, our neighborhoods, our stories, and our shared future.

Truth matters. Help us spread it. Wishing you a happy and meaningful .

The Vermont Sierra Club is so appreciative to our members who came out yesterday to enjoy some food, conversation and fun at North Beach.

Are you looking to connect with people who want to explore the planet but also protect. Our work at Sierra Club is a great place to start. If you want to get connected with us. Email Bob, the Volunteer Coordinator at [email protected], or Robb, the Chapter Director at [email protected].

The Vermont Chapter is a few dollars away from reaching our fundraising goals for the Fiscal Year(July to June).

If you contribute now as a monthly donor, you'll help us reach that goal and then set us in motion for the next fiscal year. See Below.

The Bee App An app that makes it easy to do good in your community.

The federal government is trying to cancel a rule that protects some of the remotest regions of the US Forest Service. However, it's doing it without the public hearings that allow the public to listen, learn, and weigh in.

So advocacy groups are holding public meetings instead, giving communities a voice in a decision that could impact millions of acres of public land.
