As we all continue to take care of ourselves and navigate the uncertainties of our time, we can still work as advocates for our precious local wildlands and creatures.
This spring as the days get longer and we all try to get outside responsibly, the Los Padres Chapter continues our critical work.
You are amazing! During this time of pandemic, you have not allowed your passion for protecting wildlife and wild places to stop. You have rallied to our calls for help, have taken actions, and you are making a positive difference.
While taking care of your personal safety, staying home, and staying positive, you have continued to help the Los Padres Chapter:
~ Stop uranium mining plan for our national public lands, notably our Los Padres National Forest.
~ Work to protect whales and other marine mammals from being killed off the coast of southern California (it’s working, our efforts have fostered agreements that slow ship speeds).
~ Protect our local mountain lions (also working via support for wildlife corridor and laws).
~ Protect national parks, monuments, forests, and marine sanctuaries (still at risk, we’re working on it).
~ And so much more from clean air to sparkling water.
This spring is the perfect opportunity to become a Sustaining Member of the Los Padres Chapter. All it takes is pledging $20 a month or more to support our local chapter.
By becoming a member of our Sustaining Member Circle, you are directly supporting the local work our chapter is doing on the ground in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Your commitment allows our chapter to be nimble, to respond where we are needed, when we are needed – from advocating at the county level in support of the Strauss Wind Project to advocating nationally for federal legislation protecting our natural resources such as the Central Coast Heritage Protection Act and Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary.
The steady flow of income provided by the Sustaining Member Circle keeps the chapter’s focus on this advocacy, outreach and growth because we know our monthly expenses will be covered by your recurring contributions.
It’s easy to join, when you go to the link below, select “make my gift monthly at $20 or more per month”. You will be automatically enrolled in the special Sustaining Member Circle, and more information will be sent to you by email. www.sierraclub.org/donate/1000
Sustaining Members receive advance notice of events, regular updates on local environmental advocacy, a subscription to Condor Call, an invitation to an exclusive annual outing, and a gift.
Every dollar you donate stays here in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties to help us transition away from fossil fuels and to protect rivers, forests, and wildlife that depend on us during these critical times.
Your continued support is vital for our collective efforts. You care! You help! You make a difference!
