FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: OVERVIEW: THROUGHOUT 2024, WE CONTINUED PROGRESS TOWARDS THE GOALS LAID OUT IN OUR 2030 STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK. WE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE ABOUT THE URGENCY OF TACKLING THE CLIMATE CRISIS, AND WE WORKED TO UNLOCK THE POWER OF INVESTMENTS IN SOLVING THE CLIMATE CRISIS CONTAINED IN FEDERAL LEGISLATION OF THE PAST FEW YEARS. GRASSROOTS STRONG: THE HEART OF SIERRA CLUB'S ENDURING STRENGTH AND UNIQUE EFFECTIVENESS IS OUR GRASSROOTS NETWORK OF 64 CHAPTERS, STATE AND LOCAL VOLUNTEER GROUPS, OUTINGS LEADERS, MEMBERS, AND ALL OF THE SIERRA CLUB SUPPORTERS AND PARTNERS IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BEYOND COAL: OUR BEYOND COAL CAMPAIGN ALSO HAD MAJOR WINS IN 2024, SECURING THE RETIREMENT OR COMMITTMENT TO RETIRE OUR 389TH COAL PLANT SINCE THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN IN 2010. OUR WORK LED TO THE ANNOUNCED RETIREMENT OF THE LAST TWO COAL PLANTS IN NEW ENGLAND, FUNDING FROM THE USDA FOR TEN RURAL COOPERATIVES TO TRANSITION FROM COAL TO CLEAN ENERGY, AND HISTORIC ANTI-POLLUTION STANDARDS FROM THE EPA. BEYOND DIRTY FUELS: OUR BEYOND DIRTY FUELS CAMPAIGN PROTECTED COMMUNITIES, LANDSCAPES, AND WILDLIFE FROM 11 DANGEROUS GAS PIPELINES, 25 LIQUEFIED METHANE GAS EXPORT PROJECTS, AND FOUR OIL EXPORT FACILITIES. CLEAN TRANSPORTATION FOR ALL: SIERRA CLUB SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR CALIFORNIA'S ADVANCED CLEAN CARS (ACC II) WAIVER, AND ORGANIZED THE LARGEST NUMBER OF WITNESSES OF ANY GREEN GROUP TO TESTIFY AT THE EPA'S HEARING ON THE POLICY.

WE ADVOCATED FOR THE ADDITION OF TWO NEW MONUMENTS - RECOGNIZING THE SPRINGFIELD 1908 RACE RIOT AND CARLISLE FEDERAL INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOL - AND EXPANSION OF TWO MORE - THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS AND BERRYESSA SNOW MOUNTAIN MONUMENTS. WE SECURED THE ENACTMENT OF THE PUBLIC LANDS RULE, WHICH REQUIRES FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS TO PUT CONSERVATION ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD WITH MINING AND DRILLING. WE ALSO SECURED A MINERAL WITHDRAWAL FOR COLORADO'S THOMPSON DIVIDE, PROTECTING 200,000 ACRES OF PUBLIC LANDS FROM DRILLING AND MINING. WE FOUGHT FOR AND WON NEW FEDERAL RULES TO PROTECT 13 MILLION ACRES OF THE WESTERN ARCTIC FROM OIL AND GAS DRILLING.
