Preparing for Environmental Day at the (State) Capitol


Mark your calendar for Environmental Day at the Capitol on January 25th from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Sign up now so you get all of the important preparation information leading up to the day - including one-sheets about the bills that the Sierra Club is advocating for this session. 

We will be hearing from some great speakers, learning about what advocates from around the state are working on, and meeting with our legislators. You can come for all or part of the day. We hope you can make it, but if you cannot, we will be livestreaming portions of the program to YouTube so you can view it there. This year, our theme is Save Water, Save Life. We will be focusing our lobbying efforts on water, although we will also include a few other issues, including key democracy bills.

Also, sign up for the free bus from Tucson to the Capitol in Phoenix!
