Sierra Club on Crime

Black Lives Matter: equal protection under the law

The Sierra Club believes all people deserve safe communities. That means all people deserve equal protection under the law and a life free of discrimination, hatred and violence.

Unfortunately those aspirations and goals are not a reality in our country, and that is why the Sierra Club stands in solidarity with all those who say #BlackLivesMatter, demanding justice, accountability and action to confront the racism and inequality that has allowed these tragedies to exist. We can do better and by standing together to work for the changes that are needed, we will.
