Sierra Club statement on Gov. Ralph Northam
RICHMOND, Virginia – Today, Kate Addleson, Director of the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter, released the following statement regarding the revelation of Gov. Northam’s racist actions.
“The public must be able to trust our elected leaders to govern without tolerance for racism and bigotry. Governor Northam’s actions have caused irreparable harm to his ability to work across communities – especially communities of color – to protect all Virginians as he swore to do. He should do what is best for our commonwealth and resign immediately.”
