Sierra Club California is based in Sacramento. It has a staff of advocates and organizers who defend and advance environmental policies that fight climate disrupting pollution, protect air and water quality, advance clean energy, support parks, and preserve natural resources, wildlife and wildlife habitat.

It serves to protect land primarily in the United States, but is concerned with the world’s environment as well. Its name comes from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, of which Yosemite National Park is a part, and is not far from San Francisco. Today the Sierra Club has over 700,000 members nationwide.

The Sierra Club is the most enduring and influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States. We amplify the power of our 3.8 million members and supporters to defend everyone’s right to a healthy world. Help the Sierra Club keep fighting for Earth’s natural resources.

The Sierra Club successfully defeats proposed dams in Kings Canyon and Glacier National Parks. During World War II, many Club members use their backcountry skiing and mountaineering skills in the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division.

To achieve its mission, the Sierra Club has organized persons of shared environmental concerns into a powerful and effective force for protecting the natural environment. As a grassroots-based organization, we rely on individuals for our resources, talent, and energy. Our members are our most important assets.

May 28, 1892, San Francisco, California, United States

The Sierra Club was founded in 1892 by a group of Californians who wished to sponsor wilderness outings in “the mountain regions of the Pacific Coast.” The naturalist John Muir was its first president (1892–1914) and very soon involved the club in political action to further nature conservation.

The Sierra Club is a non-profit 501(c)(4) organization. Our membership activities, literature and lobbying costs relating to our advocacy for preservation of the natural environment can be supported by non tax-deductible contributions to the organization.

Under Fahn’s leadership, AYS routes its Prop 65 money to some of the most radical groups around, including the Rainforest Action Network and the Ruckus Society (both co-founded by Earth First! godfather Mike Roselle), as well as California affiliates of Robert F.
