It’s election time, and we’ve got volunteers on the phone lines now. They’re making calls almost daily to Sierra Club BC supporters like you to remind them to vote in the federal election on October 21.
From September 20 to 27, more than 7.6 million people across the globe rose up for climate justice. So, what’s next?
From September 20 to 27, youth across the globe are rising up for climate justice. And they are asking everyone (including adults) to join them for the biggest worldwide climate strike we’ve seen yet.
For the past year, we’ve been so inspired by the millions of students who have taken to the streets to demand governments take real action on climate change. But cheering them on from the sidelines isn’t enough. To achieve the needed level of change it will take all of us acting alongside students in solidarity.
We’re in. Are you?
Around the world: Find a climate strike in your community or sign up to organize one.
If you’re in Vancouver and you’d like to support the students by being a peace-bearer and ensuring safety, please contact our Lead Organizer Galen Armstrong at galen@sierraclub.bc.ca for more information.
In Greater Victoria: Check out this exciting list of events for the Week of Action.

Watch our webinar: The world’s forests are in crisis, hit by the double whammy of climate change and ongoing human destruction. Despite the negative trends, they continue to help us stave off even worse impacts of climate change by absorbing a large amount of our carbon emissions and protecting communities to some degree from flooding, droughts and fires. But how much longer can forests withstand these pressures?
Join our Senior Forest and Climate Campaigner Jens Wieting to find out what BC and Canada need to do to protect forests and inspire global action. Learn how to support Sierra Club BC’s campaign to save the last old-growth forests before it’s too late.

These young leaders are taking matters into their own hands to secure a livable future for themselves. By joining the climate strike we can show them that we adults care about their future also. And it might just feel good too!
All the news lately about wildfires, floods, hurricanes and other worsening climate impacts is hard to take alone. Getting out in the streets with millions of others reminds us that we’re not alone. There’s a massive and growing community of people committed to transforming our economies in a way that works for us all – workers, youth, families, immigrants, Indigenous peoples – everyone.
Let’s show we have the will to make the bold changes we need, together.
