[Jonathan H. Adler] The Sierra Club Went Woke, and Now Is Going Broke

While the Sierra Club's leadership disputes the Times' analysis, the story makes a compelling case that as the Club's attempted to become more "woke"--to integrate broader concerns about racial justice, gender equity, and so on--it lost focus and support, drove away longtime supporters and volunteers. But according to the Club's leadership, the real problem is that those concerned about the environment became complacent after Joe Biden was elected, and the ability of supporters to give to the organization was hampered by broader economic conditions. The club said that was meant to address the "problematic lack of diversity and inclusion in the environmental movement and to make the Sierra Club a welcoming and supportive place to work for all employees."
