FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:	THE SIERRA CLUB IS THE OLDEST AND LARGEST GRASSROOTS ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION ON THE PLANET. ITS MISSION REMAINS TO EXPLORE, ENJOY, AND PROTECT THE WILD PLACES OF THE EARTH; TO PRACTICE AND PROMOTE THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF THE EARTH'S ECOSYSTEMS AND RESOURCES; TO EDUCATE AND ENLIST HUMANITY TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE QUALITY OF THE NATURAL AND HUMAN ENVIRONMENT; AND TO USE ALL LAWFUL MEANS TO CARRY OUT THESE OBJECTIVES. AS JOHN MUIR SAID, "WHEN WE TRY TO PICK OUT ANYTHING BY ITSELF, WE FIND IT HITCHED TO EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE." THE SIERRA CLUB BELIEVES THAT ALL PEOPLE DESERVE A HEALTHY PLANET WITH CLEAN AIR AND WATER AND A STABLE CLIMATE. ALL PEOPLE ALSO DESERVE EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW, EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, A VOICE IN OUR DEMOCRACY, AND THE RIGHT TO LIVE THEIR LIVES FREE OF DISCRIMINATION AND VIOLENCE. THESE ISSUES ARE NOT SEPARATE. INDEED, WE BELIEVE THAT WORKING TOWARD A JUST, EQUITABLE, AND TRANSPARENT SOCIETY IS NOT ONLY MORALLY NECESSARY, BUT ALSO EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO CONFRONT THE UNPRECEDENTED ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES WE FACE. THIS COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE HAS SHAPED OUR WORK OVER THE LAST YEAR.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	THROUGH ITS EDUCATIONAL AND NON-DIRECT LOBBYING PROGRAMS, THE SIERRA CLUB INFORMS THE PUBLIC AND DECISION-MAKERS ABOUT PRESSING ISSUES AND CULTIVATES AWARENESS AND ACTIVISM AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVELS. WITH STAFF IN NEARLY EVERY STATE AND VOLUNTEERS IN EVERY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT AND MEDIA MARKET, WE ARE ABLE TO MOBILIZE ACTIVISTS THROUGH EMAIL ALERTS AND PERSONAL CONTACTS. STATE AND NATIONAL LOBBYISTS REPRESENT US IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND IN ALMOST EVERY STATE CAPITOL. THROUGH OUR AWARD-WINNING WEBSITE, SIERRA MAGAZINE, NATIONAL REPORTS, MANY LOCAL AND REGIONAL PUBLICATIONS, AND OUR OUTINGS PROGRAMS WE ARE ABLE TO REACH BEYOND MEMBERS TO EDUCATE AND INSPIRE NEW CONSTITUENCIES. ADDITIONALLY, OUR ENVIRONMENTAL LAW PROGRAM EXTENDS THE FIGHT FOR SOUND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY TO THE COURTS DIRECTLY WITH OUR STAFF LAWYERS AND THROUGH THE TRAINING AND MENTORING OF ALL OF OUR LEGAL PARTNERS. THE SIERRA CLUB'S ENVIRONMENTAL LAW PROGRAM IS USING COURTROOM AND ADMINISTRATIVE LITIGATION TO BLOCK ROLLBACKS WHILE CONTINUING OUR VERY SUCCESSFUL WORK TO RETIRE COAL PLANTS AND ADVANCE CLEAN ENERGY. A STRONG LEGAL PROGRAM IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SIERRA CLUB'S ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION AND TO THE ABILITY OF CITIZENS TO PROTECT THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. SEVEN U.S. STATES, PLUS WASHINGTON, D.C.; PUERTO RICO; AND 145 CITIES, ARE COMMITTED TO MOVING TO 100 PERCENT CLEAN ENERGY, AND THIS LOCAL ACTION SHOWS NO SIGN OF SLOWING. WITH RECENT COMMITMENTS FROM NEW YORK AND MAINE, ONE IN FOUR AMERICANS NOW LIVE IN PLACES THAT ARE MOVING AWAY FROM DIRTY FUELS ENTIRELY. BY LEADING COORDINATED COMMUNICATIONS AND ORGANIZING EFFORTS, SIERRA CLUB READY FOR 100 ACTIVISTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE AT THE HEART OF MANY OF THESE COMMITMENTS, INSPIRING LOCAL LEADERS TO ADVANCE CLEAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS AT A MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE PACE AND PROVING THAT WHAT WAS ONCE CONSIDERED AN UNATTAINABLE DREAM IS QUICKLY BECOMING THE NEW NORMAL. AS A RESULT OF TIRELESS ADVOCACY FROM OUR BEYOND COAL CAMPAIGN, 18 DIRTY COAL PLANTS WERE ANNOUNCED FOR RETIREMENT IN 2019, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO 299 COAL PLANTS RETIRED OR PROPOSED TO RETIRE SINCE 2010, REPRESENTING NEARLY HALF OF THE TOTAL COAL FLEET AND PUTTING US ON TRACK TO RETIRE TWO-THIRDS OF THE ENTIRE FLEET IN THE NEXT YEAR. EARLIER IN 2019, OUR COUNTRY REACHED ANOTHER INCREDIBLE ENERGY MILESTONE, MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE MANY VICTORIES ACHIEVED BY SIERRA CLUB'S LOCAL EFFORTS: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, THE UNITED STATES IS ON TRACK TO PRODUCE MORE POWER FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY THAN FROM COAL. THE OUR WILD AMERICA CAMPAIGN'S ORGANIZING EFFORTS IMPEDED ATTEMPTS TO ROLL BACK THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT (ESA). THE SIERRA CLUB WORKED WITH A BROAD COALITION TO COLLECT AND SUBMIT MORE THAN 800,000 COMMENTS OPPOSING THE PROPOSED ROLLBACKS. WE ARE ALSO STANDING UP FOR THIS FOUNDATIONAL CONSERVATION LAW IN COURT, AS WELL AS LEADING A PUBLIC EDUCATION AND MEDIA PUSH TO BRING HEIGHTENED ATTENTION TO THIS CRITICAL ISSUE. AS A RESULT, AND FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL QUESTIONS FROM AGENCY STAFF, THE ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION OF ESA CHANGES. BEYOND DIRTY FUELS CONTINUED THE FIGHT AGAINST DIRTY AND DANGEROUS PIPELINES IN 2019, WITH OPPOSITION EFFORTS COALESCING AROUND ENBRIDGE'S PROPOSED LINE 3 TAR SANDS PIPELINE THROUGH MINNESOTA. A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE SIERRA CLUB'S WORK OPPOSING LINE 3 HAS BEEN SUPPORTING INDIGENOUS PARTNERS AND WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE THEIR LAND FROM THIS DESTRUCTIVE PROJECT. THE SIERRA CLUB'S HEALTHY COMMUNITIES PROGRAM WAS ONE OF 75 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS THAT CAME TOGETHER TO ADVANCE AN EQUITABLE AND JUST NATIONAL CLIMATE PLATFORM IN 2019. THIS HISTORIC, BOLD PLATFORM HIGHLIGHTS PRIORITY OUTCOMES AND ADVANCES THE GOALS OF ECONOMIC, RACIAL, CLIMATE, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE TO IMPROVE THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ALL COMMUNITIES WHILE TACKLING THE CLIMATE CRISIS. SIERRA STUDENT COALITION (SSC) VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON CULTIVATING AND SUPPORTING YOUTH LEADERS TO ORGANIZE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE. THE PAST TWO YEARS HAVE SEEN AN INCREDIBLE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF YOUTH LEADING ON CLIMATE, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE. IN 2019, THE DEMOCRACY PROGRAM WAS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN STATE COALITIONS AND CAMPAIGNS AROUND DEMOCRACY IN HAWAI'I, OREGON, CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, TEXAS, COLORADO, MISSOURI, MICHIGAN, FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, GEORGIA, PENNSYLVANIA, NEW YORK, MASSACHUSETTS, ILLINOIS, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NORTH CAROLINA, NEW MEXICO, WASHINGTON, D.C., AND INDIANA. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR MICHIGAN CHAPTER PARTICIPATES IN A STATE COALITION AND WITH GROUPS COORDINATING TO PREPARE FOR THE 2020 CENSUS.
