It’s a new year, and we’re getting ready for an important 2026 legislative session starting in February — we’d love for you to be part of it. We’ve put together our priorities, and there are lots of meaningful ways for members to get involved. Whether you want to take action, meet other Sierra Club members, or help push for strong climate and environmental policies at the Capitol, our Legislative Committee is the place to plug in. Check out our 2026 priorities, see what speaks to you, and join us as we work for a cleaner, healthier Connecticut.
