Make an EMERGENCY gift to help us stop confirmation of Trump's EPA pick Scott Pruitt.

Dear Dave,

Unreal.

Trump just nominated one of Big Oil's greatest allies to head the EPA:

His pick, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, denies climate change is real. Pruitt viciously attacked the EPA and its efforts to stop air and water pollution. He's literally the mouthpiece of Big Oil, taking talking points written by energy lobbyists to publicly attack Obama's Clean Power Plan.

This is like putting an arsonist in charge of fighting fires.

Our environment, our children's health, and the future of our natural world are on the line. We're mobilizing to pressure the Senate from confirming Big Oil Pruitt, but we need your financial support to win this fight:

Donate to the Sierra Club's EMERGENCY campaign to defend the EPA: Help us stop Scott Pruitt from being confirmed!

Pruitt's own bio proudly declares he "is a leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda."

Instead, he's been a leading advocate for Big Oil's agenda. In a New York Times expose, journalists discovered that letters Pruitt sent challenging Federal clean air regulators were actually written by energy lobbyists. In return, Big Polluters filled Pruitt's campaign coffers.

This is a disaster. Scott Pruitt will undoubtedly fulfill Trump's promise to reduce the EPA to "tidbits."

This nomination is so extreme, we actually have a shot at stopping Pruitt's confirmation. But we've got to rally and show Senators that Americans didn't vote to let fossil fuel executives run our government, destroy our climate, or undermine decades of progress on cleaning up our air and water.

Donate now to our EMERGENCY campaign to stop Scott Pruitt from being confirmed as EPA Chief.

It's time to show Trump that we will not allow him to destroy what we've fought so hard to protect. Clean water, clean air, and our children's health are too important.

Please respond today -- this will be one of the most consequential fights for our environment.

Onward,

Michael Brune

Here's how quickly food goes bad, according to the USDA


It is snowing at #STANDINGROCK right now and water cannons are planned ahead. Please help now!

It's ❄snowing❄ at #STANDINGROCK right now, and the Dakota police force are gearing up for another water cannon session....Prayers, meditation, & good vibes for everyone there. It is VERY much needed.
In case you may not have known: people are likely to start DYING at Standing Rock-- if they aren't already:
The Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council released this statement: “The physicians and tribal healers with the Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council call for the immediate cessation of use of water cannons on people who are outdoors in 28F ambient weather with no means of active rewarming in these conditions. As medical professionals, we are concerned for the real risk of loss of life due to severe hypothermia under these conditions.”
Not to mention continuous mass tear gas, rubber bullets, as well as stinger grenades and LRAND (Long Range Acoustic Device) for 3 hours
Law enforcement also shot down three media drones and targeted journalists with less lethal rounds.
National Lawyers Guild legal observers on the frontlines have confirmed that multiple people were unconscious and bleeding after being shot in the head with rubber bullets. One elder went into cardiac arrest at the frontlines but medics administered CPR and were able to resuscitate him. The camp’s medical staff and facilities are overwhelmed and the local community of Cannonball has opened their school gymnasium for emergency relief.
