"Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, known as SLAPP suits for short, are a type of lawsuit intended to silence or punish people who speak out on matters of public interest," Ben Jealous, the Sierra Club's executive director, writes in his latest column. "We should all stand in solidarity against abusive SLAPP suits aimed at shutting down the people-powered movements for freedom and justice that have always held our nation accountable to its ideals and helped reshape society for the better."

About us
At the Sierra Club, we believe in the power of togetherness. Together, we remain committed to the fight for a healthy climate built on a foundation of environmental, racial, economic, and gender justice – a future where all people benefit from a healthy, thriving planet and a direct connection to nature. As the climate crisis and deeply entrenched systemic racism all fuel inequity, we will continue to fight for a bold, transformational agenda that recognizes the interconnectedness between our planet, our humanity, and our democracy. By recognizing that our destinies are tied, we continue to name that all things are fundamentally connected, and the overlap between ecology, race, gender, and representative government will move to either advance our collective humanity or to oppress it. Sierra Club is comprised of staff across the country and a network of local chapters that support our grassroots engagement. We are also proud to be a unionized employer, with two labor unions representing more than half of our employees. Please view www.sierraclub.org/careers/ for more information.

We can't opt-in to climate risk in our daily lives, so why are investors still failing to hold polluters to account? "The world’s largest asset managers need to revisit their standard approach to proxy voting,” said Jessye Waxman, Senior Strategist for Sierra Club’s Fossil-Free Finance campaign. “Their current strategies mostly do not support the long-term interests of diversified and passively invested clients.” https://lnkd.in/gZXPbWjp
Asset managers' softening stance on #climate #stewardship at #fossilfuel firms is stalling the global transition to #netzero, with asset owners urged to step up their scrutiny and expectations. Comments from Huw Davies (Make My Money Matter), Danielle Fugere (As You Sow), Agathe Masson (Reclaim Finance - ONG), and Jessye Waxman (Sierra Club). Read Emanuela (Emmy) Hawker's news story here:
