We're here to protect Sonoma County's most valued of public interests: our air, our water, and our habitats. In this, our purpose is distinct from that of elected officials, who must please all of the community's “stakeholders”, including those who would eagerly damage our watersheds, forests and habitat in the name of the bottom line. Our job is not to congratulate open-mindedness in government,
but to make very clear to our neighbors which policies will protect, and which will harm our true public interests: our air, our water, and our habitats. We cringe when we hear environmental protection referred to as a “special interest”, and endorse the candidates who prioritize and value our true public interests. Our views are based on science, research, and the experience of hundreds of Sierra Club activists going back several generations. We also take the time to put on our boots and backpacks, and get first-hand value from Sonoma County's beautiful outdoor places. Together we can explore, enjoy and protect our Sonoma County habitat.
