Unearthing the past: The history of rock climbing in Joshua Tree
On April 25, 1936, Arthur B. Johnson, Chair of the Rock Climbing Committee of the Southern California Sierra Club Chapter led what was likely the first ever climbing-focused expedition in the Wonderland Rocks area of Joshua Tree, before it was even designated as a national monument on August 10th of the same year. In the 1930s, the Sierra Club was the preeminent climbing organization in Southern California, and helped to bring European Alpinist techniques to the California landscape.

A Massive Victory Against Big Oil!
We successfully organized around the Signal Hill Community and they led us to a historic victory against Big Oil!
On June 26th, in the face of overwhelming pressure from the community and local environmental organizations, including the Sierra Club, the CA oil industry withdrew its referendum from the ballot.
Signal Hill was the largest financial backer of the proposed referendum.
Angeles Chapter Proposes Plastic Procurement Reduction (Everywhere)
Plastics are made to last forever. Yet, many of the products are used only for a few moments. When plastic enters the environment, it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces that act as magnets for harmful chemical pollutants and become dispersed in the air, water, soil, and ocean, entering the food chain for people and wildlife. Plastic has been found in drinking water, food, and human breast milk, placenta, lung, blood, heart, liver and gut tissues.
