Trump's push to continue the operation of coal plants in West Virginia and Maryland could negatively impact air quality in Pennsylvania.

“The entire eastern seaboard, including Philadelphia, doesn’t meet federal standards for smog pollution,” Tom Schuster, Sierra Club Pennsylvania Director, said. “Plants like these would directly contribute to that pollution.”

Pennsylvania could see increased coal mining and more air pollution coming from neighboring states in Trump's effort to revitalize the industry.

🔥☢️⛔️ Sierra Club has worked hard to close 330 coal plants since 2010. We will continue to fight all of Trump's attempts to resurrect this failing industry.

Pride is not just a month: It is a call to action! June is a month where those who have historically had their sparkle hidden or destroyed can share that light with others and announce to the world that they are here.

Without diversity our ecosystem collapses and all of us deserve to explore, enjoy and protect the beautiful colorful and wild place that we inhabit. Happy Pride all!

Thank you to the wonderful for giving a shoutout to the PA Chapter at your show last week. What a great way for Chapter volunteers and staffers to kick off Pride!
