 A Note from Our Vice-ChairAs our chapter chair is away this month, enjoy an update from our vice-chair. Get a preview on results from our summer survey — and be sure to fill it out if you haven’t already! And on a wider scale, catch up on how the world is currently responding to climate change. |  An Invitation to Strategic Planning for the CT Environmental Rights AmendmentThe CT Environmental Rights Amendment would put the fundamental human rights to clean and healthy air, water, and soil and a safe climate into the Connecticut state constitution. We have been working to pass this amendment and expect to bring it to the Connecticut General Assembly again next year. Join us! |  Connecticut DEEP Moved the Goalposts on Public Participation and Silenced the PublicConnecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) just told the public it has a right to request hearings on major air permits — and then turned around and denied every single request, claiming the public failed to meet a secret standard the agency never told anyone about. |

 Let’s Address the GIANT Elephant on the TrailYou may be surprised to learn that Connecticut is ranked number one in the country for best states to hike in. It may be less of a surprise that not all communities experience equal access to all these trails — and our chapter works towards fixing that reality. |  From Harvest Season to Advocacy Season: Join the Legislative CommitteeAs the leaves fall and the year winds down, our thoughts turn to reflection and preparation. While many are planning for the holidays, Sierra Club Connecticut is planning for the 2026 legislative session. The work we do leading up to the session will help our voices be strong when the session begins in February. |  Connecticut Chapter and Group Executive Committee Elections Coming SoonThe Sierra Club Connecticut Chapter and Group Executive Committee elections are coming soon. Our Executive Committees oversee and approve the work of the staff, committees, campaigns, and groups. Read about the nominees and vote to elect our next ExCom members! |
