Clean Energy/Coal/Nuclear Campaign
Volunteer Community Voices
Need designated point people in every group to set up phone trees, email lists
and recruit volunteers to help fight new coal and nuclear plants. Need individuals
willing to work with churches, PTA, business and women’s groups in their
own communities to set up coffees, potlucks and meetings where we can present
our materials on coal plants and for clean energy. We don’t have 30
lobbyists working full time on our behalf. This is a grassroots movement and
we need your help.

FOR OUR FAMILIES, FOR OUR FUTURE!
The Delta Chapter is 3,000 of your neighbors supporting the work of the Sierra Club in Louisiana. We advance the cause of protecting Louisiana's environment in a variety of ways, including lobbying the state legislature in Baton Rouge, sponsoring a Mercury Public Education Campaign, raising public awareness about climate change, and working to keep the Atchafalaya Basin, America's greatest river swamp, wet and wild. In addition, we encourage our members to get outside and enjoy our beautiful planet.
The Sierra Club's members and supporters are more than 1.3 million of your friends and neighbors. Inspired by nature, we work together to protect our communities and the planet. The Club is America's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization.
