Join Jodie Evans and Cynthia Pappermaster to deliver a petition to the Sierra Club as part of the Elephant in the Room Campaign of the War Is Not Green Campaign!
We want to shine a light on the elephant in the room: we can’t fight the climate crisis without ending war and militarism. The U.S. military is the world's #1 institutional polluter, has over 800 toxic bases globally, and the current fossil fuel economy relies on war, militarism, and imperial foreign policy to exist.
We need to build our movements because we're up against a lot. Yet in the Global North, in the US, the movement is siloed. We see this in funding and philanthropy disparities. After an initial email to them, we’re bringing a public ask, because the Sierra Club has a lot of power: a 3.8 million-person membership base, and as of 2023, over 195 million in revenue. If we’re building a united movement for the people and planet, we need to know who our united targets are. That’s why we want to give an offering to some climate organizations that could really play a large role in helping to spotlight this elephant, starting with the Sierra Club: one of the oldest and largest environmental organizations in the U.S.
