ACTION ALERT: Senator Steve Daines just voted twice to strip protections for roadless areas across the country, despite widespread Montanans’ widespread support for the Roadless Rule. He claims to be a public land advocate, but he keeps bowing to the desires of industry lobbyists instead.

Please call him and hold him accountable!

You can also send a message to all of Montana's Congressional representatives at once through our action form here to demand they support public lands by protecting the Roadless Rule: https://act.sierraclub.org/actions/Montana?actionId=AR0590551

(You can use our suggested text or delete it and write your own message.)

“Sierra Club Montana Chapter Director Caryn Miske stressed that “while the Trump administration kills affordable energy projects and jobs across the country, it is continuing to side with wealthy corporations and oil executives looking to increase profit regardless of the risks to Montana’s treasured waterways and to families and businesses struggling with high energy costs. These policies aren’t about fair or free markets, it’s welfare for corporations and pollution for everyone else.”

President Trump is under fire for granting a permit for the Bridger Pipeline Expansion Project, or "Keystone Light," which community, conservation, and Indigenous group leaders warn is a direct threat to the nation's land, water, and future, plus the global climate.
