 To Prevent Future PandemicsHow does protecting wildlife and their habitat help keep humans healthy and safe? Zoonotic diseases, such as the novel coronavirus, will continue to be a risk if we allow wildlife trade and habitat destruction to go unchecked. |  Safeguard Our Elections and Our HealthAs a Sierra Club member, our ability to vote gives a voice to the environment we seek to protect. Our chapter supports the expansion of absentee voting in Connecticut for the primary and general election to ensure voter safety during COVID-19. |  Fighting for the FutureAlthough we’re staying far apart from each other and working online to ensure everyone’s health and safety, our Chapter continues to advocate for a future with a livable planet. That means opposing the unneeded fracked gas plant proposed by NTE to be built in Killingly. |
