2020 was an incredibly challenging year that underscored the urgency of transforming our world to one where both people and nature thrive. At the Sierra Club Foundation, we saw exciting new momentum for this effort. In this year’s annual report, we share inspiring stories of Sierra Club activists, partners, and supporters who led efforts to resist attacks on the environment, renew our commitment to an inclusive and equitable movement, and reimagine a future where all people benefit from a healthy planet. 

reSIST 

In its final year in power, the Trump administration rushed to remove protections for wildlife, accelerate dirty fuels projects, and lock in plans to mine and log millions of acres of public lands. Perhaps worst of all, the administration continued to push its disastrous border wall, which has already resulted in the destruction of sacred Indigenous sites and fragile wildlife habitat. Against great odds, the Sierra Club’s lawyers, organizers, chapters, and volunteers were able to resist the Trump administration and stave off the worst of these attacks. 

reNEW
The pandemic, climate disasters, racist violence, and the other crises we faced in 2020 drove home the interconnected nature of our work to protect both people and the planet. The Sierra Club’s lawyers and organizers fought to address the disproportionate burden of air pollution for frontline communities, a factor linked to increased deaths from COVID. Meanwhile, activists demanded an end to life-threatening utility shutoffs in communities of color, a symptom of our country’s widespread energy injustice. From California to Puerto Rico, grassroots activists secured transformative clean energy commitments, and volunteers and staff ensured that more people had access to the healing power of nature. This unprecedented year prompted us to renew our deep commitment to creating a world that is healthy and safe for everyone. 

reIMAGINE
Throughout the upheaval of 2020, we kept our eyes on the future we want: A carbon neutral planet where all people can thrive. Sierra Club activists stopped dirty pipelines, secured coal plant retirements, and accelerated the transition to clean transportation and renewable energy in cities and states around the country. As we look ahead, we’re reimagining a future with clean air and water, thriving lands and wildlife, and healthy, just communities. The problems we face are made by people and can be solved by people—from the ground up. 


We deeply appreciate your support, and hope the stories in this report will reaffirm your faith in the power of people to chart a brighter future.

In 2020, as Trump’s days in office waned, his administration accelerated its assault on the environment—attempting to push through dangerous fossil fuel projects, remove endangered species protections, destroy forests, and decimate communities with an ill-conceived border wall. Thanks to the fiscal sponsorship and funding support of the Sierra Club Foundation, the Sierra Club was able to fight back at every turn, using legal maneuvers and grassroots organizing to resist unprecedented attacks and successfully defend our air, water, and wildlife. In the process, the Sierra Club further cultivated its partnerships with frontline community groups and built a more powerful and inclusive movement.

sierra club VS. TRUMP 

For years, the Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon Chapter and Borderlands Team have partnered with Tribes, grassroots activists, and local groups to protect the fragile lands along the US-Mexico border. When the Trump administration moved to divert billions of dollars from military projects and service members’ pay to fund new border wall construction, the Sierra Club’s Environmental Law Program—together with the ACLU and Southern Border Communities Coalition—filed a lawsuit challenging the diversion. By June, both a district court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the challenge, halting construction for numerous wall projects. The decisions couldn’t have come sooner, as bulldozers had already desecrated ancestral Tribal lands—including the Tohono O’odham Nation’s burial and spiritual sites—and destroyed fragile habitat and critical migration corridors for jaguars, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, and other vulnerable species. The Environmental Law Program is working to settle the case in court, while local Sierra Club chapters continue to partner with O’odham activists, Friends of Friendship Park, other conservation organizations, and border communities to protect their rights and safety, as well as desert wildlands and habitat.

saving OLD-GROWTH FORESTS

In March, the Sierra Club and its partners won a huge legal victory to stop logging and road construction in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. A Trump administration rollback exempting the Tongass from the Roadless Rule had removed protections for 9.2 million acres—and included a timber sale that would have opened 1.8 million acres on Prince of Wales Island to logging and new roads. The legal team stepped in and successfully blocked the sale, the largest in any national forest in 30 years. More than half of the logging area targeted majestic old-growth trees—many of which are centuries old. Because old-growth forests efficiently absorb carbon dioxide pollution, protecting the Tongass is a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to fighting climate change. The Sierra Club continues its work to reinstate federal protections for millions more acres in the Tongass, which provide clean air, thriving wildlands, and healthy habitat for wildlife.

The Sierra Club has been a leader in protecting grizzly bears and their habitat for decades, and in 2020 helped secure another big win. In July, the Ninth Circuit sided with the Sierra Club, numerous Tribes, and other allies in affirming the District Court’s 2018 decision reinstating Endangered Species Act protections for grizzly bears in the Yellowstone region. The decision protects the bears from trophy hunts in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana outside the boundaries of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. There are only about 700 grizzlies in the three-state region, and even with protections they face continued threats, including shrinking habitat, food scarcity due to climate change, and isolation from other grizzly bear populations. The Sierra Club will continue its work to protect connectivity between isolated populations of grizzlies and ensure their full recovery.

PARTNERING TO FIGHT PIPELINES

Experts, insiders, and pundits said it couldn’t be stopped—that the Atlantic Coast Pipeline was inevitable. But in July, after six years of legal battles and community opposition, construction on the 600-mile, $8 billion pipeline was halted. This victory marks an enormous milestone in blocking the expansion of the fracked gas industry—a major driver of climate change—and in elevating the voices of those most impacted by dirty pipelines. The achievement would not have been possible without the citizen leadership of Tribes and Black activists along the pipeline route, especially the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and residents of Union Hill, Virginia—a historically Black community that was founded by freed slaves after the Civil War. Local Sierra Club organizers joined these activist leaders, along with a broad coalition of farmers, landowners, faith-based groups, students, and others to show the project’s stakeholders and investors that pipelines had no place in their communities or on a warming planet. 

“Today’s victory against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline is testament to the power that exists in frontline communities across our nation. The courageous leadership of impacted community members who refused to bow in the face of overwhelming odds is an inspiration to all Americans.” 

REV. DR. BARBER

This unrelenting pressure, along with ballooning costs and numerous filings by the Sierra Club’s Environmental Law Program, ultimately tanked the project. In addition to the win on the ground, this allied movement managed to shift the larger narrative around pipelines and other fossil fuel projects. They made it clear that racial injustice is deeply intertwined with environmental destruction—and that to solve either, we must fight both.

Last year, COVID and racist violence laid bare the persistent inequities in our country and the inseparable nature of our work to protect both people and the planet. Early in the pandemic, research revealed that people living with higher levels of air pollution were at a much greater risk of dying from the virus; the Sierra Club’s Environmental Law Program (fiscally sponsored by the Sierra Club Foundation) filed a number of legal challenges addressing the burden of air pollution on communities of color. The COVID pandemic also underscored the life-threatening nature of utility shutoffs, which disproportionately affect Black and Brown neighborhoods. As we look ahead, we will continue to renew our commitment to solidarity with the people most directly impacted by climate change, pollution, and injustice. 

SOLIDARITY & MOVEMENT BUILDING

building A STRONGER, MORE INCLUSIVE MOVEMENT 

In 2020, Sierra Club chapters nationwide worked hand-in-hand with local organizations, community leaders, environmental groups, and activists to advance a vision of just and healthy communities for all. In St. James Parish, Louisiana, the Sierra Club is part of a movement started more than 30 years ago by local Black leaders, environmentalists, and union activists to rid their neighborhoods—known as “Cancer Alley”—of toxic air pollution. Together, the coalition won a lawsuit blocking construction of what would have been one of the world’s largest petrochemical plastics manufacturing facilities. In Minneapolis, frontline communities faced the multiple crises of police brutality, systemic racism, COVID, and economic and environmental devastation. In the immediate aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the Sierra Club’s North Star chapter and Healthy Communities campaign stepped in to provide direct support to local organizing and mutual aid groups. On the West Coast, the Sierra Club partnered with the California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) to ramp up clean energy development in frontline communities. By blocking new fossil fuel investments and prioritizing an equitable transition from fracked gas, the campaign is helping create good, green jobs and cleaner air.  Meanwhile, the Outdoors for All campaign worked across the country to ensure safe and equitable access to nature. During COVID, staff and volunteers helped open streets for walking, biking, and rolling; they also supported outdoor equity efforts such as Joy Trip Project/Black in National Parks Week, HBCUs Outside, Outdoor Afro, and Latino Outdoors.

ramping up RENEWABLES

The island of Puerto Rico will soon surpass current levels of solar power in Texas and solar storage capacity in California. This bright future is the work of Sierra Club’s Puerto Rico chapter, along with a broad, community-based coalition—including Alianza por Energia Renovable Ahora (Renewable Energy Now Coalition) and others—which is leveraging long-term, locally led solutions to drive a just energy transition. On the heels of a major law in January regulating coal ash, the team won big in August when regulators ordered an extreme overhaul of the grid in order to prioritize clean energy. Organizers stopped two new gas facilities, won a commitment to end coal generation by 2027, and are ramping up renewable energy and storage. They also supported local communities that have been hard-hit by climate disasters in holding authorities and utilities accountable as the island builds a clean energy future that is reliable, affordable, and resilient.

FIGHTING FOR FAIR ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER 

As COVID quickly spread in early 2020, thousands of Detroiters and others across Michigan faced another crisis: water shutoffs due to nonpayment of unaffordable water bills. Public health officials told residents repeatedly to wash their hands—but they couldn’t. Without running water, they were unable to take the simplest step to protect themselves and their families. As infection rates climbed and the pandemic’s economic toll worsened, the Sierra Club’s Michigan Chapter activated its deep network of volunteers—residents across the state who’d spent years advocating for social justice. They joined forces with the Healthy Communities campaign and a team of partners that included the People’s Water Board Coalition (co-founded by the Sierra Club), Flint Rising, faith-based groups, Water You Waiting For, and Water For All Michigan. The partners worked together closely and in March helped secure a statewide moratorium—an order that restored running water to homes and halted further shutoffs, while providing financial assistance and necessary plumbing repairs. It also forced utilities to make their opaque billing practices more transparent. 

“Universal access to safe drinking water is a matter of life and death. Eliminating water shutoffs through 2022 is a step in the right direction. In the short-term, Detroit’s leaders are taking the necessary and humane approach to providing drinking water to everyone, regardless of income.”

Perhaps most importantly, the coalition exposed the shutoffs as a grave threat to both public health and human rights. The once-in-a-generation pandemic brought to light longtime systemic inequities—a history of redlining, lead pipes, and crumbling infrastructure in Black neighborhoods, and predatory practices by utilities. Though the moratorium on shutoffs expired in early 2021, the Michigan Chapter continues its work with partners towards a permanent statewide ban and the right to safe, affordable water for all.

Through the upheaval of 2020, we continued to fight for a world with abundant renewable energy, clean air and water, and healthy communities. The Sierra Club’s teams around the country organized to stop expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure—successfully halting several dirty pipelines and securing retirements for polluting coal plants. Meanwhile, staff and volunteers joined forces to rapidly accelerate the transition to clean energy. Together, we’re not only reimagining our country’s energy systems, transportation, and pollution safeguards—we’re working with each other and with our allies in a way that’s more inclusive, just, and visionary than ever before.

CLIMATE & CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS

taking  COAL OFFLINE 

2020 was a record year for moving beyond coal in the US. More than 30 gigawatts of coal-fired power were proposed for retirement this year—the largest annual total to date. The Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign (fiscally sponsored by the Sierra Club Foundation) worked with partners to secure the retirement of 40 plants across the country, bringing the campaign’s lifetime total to 338. In Ohio, activists brought about the single largest coal plant retirement announcement in US history—from one of the sector’s worst polluters. In Colorado, the five announced retirements included the Martin Drake facility, one of the nation’s last urban coal plants. Almost all of the coal that is taken offline will be replaced by renewable energy. In addition to coal phaseouts, Sierra Club organizers and lawyers worked with partner groups to stop planned gas power plants, win coal ash cleanup settlements, and secure renewable energy commitments at the state level—all while advocating for programs and resources that advance a just and equitable transition to a clean energy economy.

As we shift from dirty energy to renewables, we have a rare opportunity to not only heal the planet but also ensure that more people thrive. The Sierra Club is helping hasten the end of the fossil fuel era and its legacy of environmental racism by holding polluters accountable, fighting energy injustice, and expanding access to clean power. In 2020, local chapters halted unjust energy rate hikes in Missouri, Michigan, and Virginia—increases that have historically tended to hit communities of color hardest. They also secured funding incentives in California to make energy-efficient homes available to more people, especially those with low incomes. Across the country, organizers and volunteers amplified the voices of frontline partners fighting for a just transition to clean energy. Tackling transportation emissions, activists won commitments from Uber and Lyft to shift to all-electric rides by 2030. In California, they helped pass a regulation requiring medium- and heavy-duty trucks to be electric by 2045, which will reduce toxic diesel emissions. Organizers also persuaded 11 states to include equitable building electrification as part of their climate planning. Together, these states account for nearly one-third of our nation’s demand for gas in buildings—their commitments will help accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels. Meanwhile, the Environmental Law Program successfully challenged a number of attacks on our air and climate, including attempted Clean Air Act rollbacks by the Trump administration. In Pennsylvania, Utah, and New Mexico, Sierra Club lawyers helped secure rulings that tightened emission limits for polluters—and in some cases, required a shift to clean energy production.

a turning point FOR DIRTY PIPELINES 

The Sierra Club and coalition partners are making huge climate strides by keeping oil and gas in the ground all over the country. In 2020, hard-fought wins against dangerous and unnecessary pipelines proved that with tenacious organizing, Indigenous leadership, and legal maneuvering, we can outsmart polluters. In April, organizers won a major legal victory against the Keystone XL pipeline, blocking construction of the line that would have carried tar sands oil across almost 700 rivers, streams, and fragile wetlands. In July, a court ordered the Dakota Access Pipeline to be shut down while undergoing further environmental review—a win culminating from years of frontline resistance led by the Standing Rock Sioux, Cheyenne River Sioux, and other Tribes. The Environmental Law Program has supported this effort from the beginning and continues on as a partner in the fight. Thanks to grassroots activism and legal challenges, the Line 3 Pipeline, Enbridge Line 5, and Mountain Valley Pipeline all hit legal roadblocks that may doom them for good—a victory for communities and First Nations in Minnesota, Michigan, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.

DEFUNDING ARCTIC DRILLING

In 2020, the Sierra Club Foundation together with the Sierra Club and its partners achieved a remarkable milestone: getting 30 banks worldwide—including every major bank in the US—to say no to funding drilling in the Arctic. Led by Alaska’s Gwich’in Nation, the coalition used grassroots pressure, community engagement, and shareholder advocacy to call out the role of banks in financing the extraction projects that destroy wildlands and cause climate change. They targeted financial institutions like Blackrock (the world’s largest asset manager), Wells Fargo (the top banker of fracked oil and gas), JP Morgan Chase (the largest financier of fossil fuels), along with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, CitiBank, and Bank of America. As a result of the campaign, these banks and dozens more across the globe have committed to stop financing new oil and gas development on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—with many adopting no-funding policies for the entire Arctic region. This hard-fought win helps preserve the habitat, migration routes, and calving grounds for caribou, moose, polar bears, and migratory birds. 

“Drilling in the Arctic Refuge violates Indigenous rights, and is a threat to the bottom line of any bank that funds this destructive activity. As the world increasingly recognizes the urgent need to move away from polluting fossil fuels, investments in expensive new drilling projects are growing riskier.” 

BERNADETTE DEMIENTIEFF
Executive Director of the Gwich’in Steering Committee

It also safeguards ancestral lands for the Gwich’in, Inupiat, and other Tribal nations that have lived in and cared for the region for time immemorial. The flopped auction of coastal plain drilling sites by the Trump administration in January 2021 is a testament to the Arctic team’s success in raising public awareness around capital-fueled climate destruction and holding investors accountable for risky, expensive, and unnecessary drilling.
