Under the jurisdiction of our Political Committee, our EELA committee advocates for state and local climate and conservation legislation. At the beginning of each legislative season, we decide which state bills (usually from 4 to 6 bills) we will be focusing on from the list of approximately 20 to 30 bills on Sierra Club California’s Priority Bills list. We advocate for these “focus bills” by contacting legislators, making public comments at meetings, gathering petition signatures, writing op-eds and letters-to-the editor, and more. We also advocate for some key local ordinances, resolutions, and policies each year. If you are interested in legislative advocacy, whether at the state of local level, this is the committee you should consider joining.
