Our program will feature key partners and organizations sponsoring the EmPOWER bill.

Sierra Club is rolling into 2024 with all pistons firing, and while I realize that is rapidly becoming an outdated reference, what isn't outdated is our unwavering love for nature, clean air, clean water, and a healthier, more equitable Maryland for all of its residents. We know you share that love. Now come share the excitement as we transform our aspirations into achievements.
Thanks for all you do for the environment,
