[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not going to read the article but the sierra club has not been super relevant for a long time now.
They also went heavy heavy into a litigation strategy a long time ago and the courts just haven’t been that friendly for progressive plaintiffs so that hasn’t been a great strategy for a while.
I give our environmental $$$ elsewhere.[/quote]

I thought Sierra Club was already far left, further losing relevancy from the mainstream.  It’s on them for deciding to go broader without adequate funding.[/quote]

It is much more than just going broader without the funding.  As a single cause group they could draw support from many people/groups that might disagree on other issues.

There are tons of people who support environmental causes that aren’t far left politically, but if you embrace every far left cause du jour you end up alienating anyone not far left. (And let’s face it, there are a ton of far left political/advocacy groups competing for the same donations.)

Also, leftists, by and large, don’t have any money in the first place. Targeting a relatively small group of people that havw no money is a terrible way to run an organization that relies on donations to operate.[/quote]
