Club endorses Jerry McNerney for Congress
Elections, conservation campaigns, outings - the Club has a volunteer opportunity for you.

Jerry Brown for attorney general
While California's attorney general is often referred to as the state's "top cop", that title fails to capture the office's importance to our air, water, and wilderness.

Help elect Phil Angelides governor
We can do better.

No on Proposition 90
Stealth measure would undermine land-use planning and environmental protection.

Get out the vote for Worthington and Spring in Berkeley
Through a record-breaking heat wave, power grid-failures, and mounting warnings of devastating climate change, a team of Chapter volunteers have been working to bring down the costs of solar power.

Help pass Measure K in Fremont

Court quashes Albany initiative
Focus now on electing pro-shoreline candidates Atkinson and Wile.

Pass Prop E in San Francisco
Increased parking tax will help discourage driving and improve Muni.

Re-elect Chris Daly to the San Francisco Supervisors
One of the Bay Chapter's highest election priorities this year is to re-elect Chris Daly to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Drennen for BART in San Francisco
Emily Drennen is an exceptional candidate for BART director.

Gayle McLaughlin for Richmond mayor
The Sierra Club asks you to help elect Gayle McLaughlin as mayor of Richmond.

Concord: the Weapons Station and the City Council
Redevelopment of the Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) offers a wonderful chance to preserve open space and wildlife habitat.
