The club, the Chapter, and all its entities must find ways to be more inclusive, in keeping with our changing population. I find this to be an exemplary goal. We should pursue that. In the process, perhaps we can also understand that people learn, and change; and evidently John Muir did, from what we know of his writings later in life. We should also remember that one overarching goal, which affects all of us, red, white, blue, green, amber, orange, black, regardless of sex or sexual orientation, must be to take on climate change. Like COVID-19, climate change doesn't care who, where, or what we are. Nor should we forget that the Sierra Club began as an organization to explore, enjoy and protect the mountains of California - and has broadened that - but if we broaden it too much we risk losing focus.
