GET ME REWRITE: Sierra Club leadership in denial

 
The numbers:
  • $40,000,000 projected budget deficit
  • 60% loss of membership
  • 10% of staff laid off

Headline:  New York Times, 11/7/2025

From a report by David A. Farenthold and Claire Brown:

Quote from Loren Blackford, Sierra Club's new executive director:
“As long as climate change and environmental protection are viewed as just being concerns for a limited group of elites, we lose.  We only win by building a powerful, diverse movement.”
Quote from Sierra Club's current board president Patrick Murphy:
"I have a hard time pinpointing how I believe we should have made different choices,  And I’m happy with where we are today.”
