Since Elon Musk and his DOGE cohorts have taken it upon themselves to chew their way through the government, firing park officials and scientists and torching budgets, supporters of the Santa Monica Mountains have asked us: What can be done to stop the administration from their attack on the environment?
Well, the Sierra Club is lacing up for a fight. They’ve joined up with other organizations to sue Musk and DOGE.
You can help, too, by donating right here.
Here is a message from Ben Jealous, the Executive Director of Sierra Club:
DOGE’s actions are more than just political moves—they directly attack the very places we hold dear. The National Park Service (NPS) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) are being systematically undermined, and the workers who manage these lands are being unfairly fired.
Stopping DOGE is urgent. The harm is immediate, and the consequences are severe. These actions threaten your access to our public spaces, endanger communities and ecosystems, and put critical conservation efforts at risk.
The Sierra Club has joined Campaign Legal Center, Union of Concerned Scientists, Organization of Chinese Americans, and Japanese American Citizens League to sue Elon Musk and DOGE over their devastating budget cuts and firings of federal workers. This is what we are fighting for:
The Sierra Club is taking action against DOGE and Elon Musk for unlawfully firing National Park Service and US Forest Service employees, cutting budgets and staffing, and violating contracts. We are joining other groups in a lawsuit to protect the public lands and parks you care about, fighting back against Congress’s attempts to cut budgets and offer lease sales, and rallying support nationwide
We need your help to keep this momentum going. Make a gift to the Sierra Club today to make a lasting impact in the fight to protect our parks, forests, and the future of our planet.
