Restore the Sierra Club. Protect Its Integrity.
The San Francisco Bay Chapter of the Sierra Club, once a model of grassroots environmental leadership, is at a crossroads. Real estate interests, developer PACs, and political operatives are attempting to steer our chapter away from its mission of protecting land, water, air, and communities.
This election is our chance to reclaim the Sierra Club for its members not corporations, not PACs, not “greenwashed” developer agendas.
Vote Environment, Not Developers.

MATT MORRISON
Former Chapter Compliance Officer (2014–2020, 2024)
“As Chapter Compliance Officer, I safeguarded our integrity, ensuring decisions served the Sierra Club’s mission, not outside agendas. I’m running to restore transparency, fairness, and the moral compass that once guided us.”
PAT
PIRAS
Southern Alameda County Group ExCom Member
“Our Chapter faces an existential crisis. We must keep the Sierra Club true to its mission not turn it into a subsidiary of corporate or political interests.”
PAUL
SEGER
Chair, Sierra Club Delta Group
Director, Diablo Water District
“Our Chapter must never trade away the protections that define us. CEQA, NEPA, and public oversight aren’t red tape, they’re the lifeblood of environmental democracy and our moral core.”
MARK
VAN LANDUYT
Chair, Sierra Club
Mount Diablo Group
“In this Trump era, the Sierra Club must stand as the bulwark against all efforts to commodify everything of human and environmental value.”
Proven Track Record of Protection & Enforcement
Led efforts that helped secure shoreline parklands
Filed and won CEQA actions to stop toxic and harmful development
Defended the Endangered Species Act and environmental review laws
Why Choose Us
We are long-time volunteers, environmental advocates, land defenders, habitat protectors, and community stewards. We’ve fought for shoreline parks, challenged toxic polluters, defended California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and held the line against greenwashing.
Keep Corporations Out of Conservation
No PACs. No real estate money. No backdoor deals. Sierra Club leadership should serve ecosystems and people — not developers, tech financiers, or PG&E.
Restore Democracy & Member Power
We will protect and enforce the Sierra Club’s bylaws, ensure transparent decision-making, and stop political appointments designed to consolidate power.
Defend CEQA & Environmental Laws
CEQA and NEPA are not “red tape.” They are the backbone of environmental justice, public oversight, and ecological protection.
Protect Public Land From Private Profit
We fight for shoreline access, regional parks, clean water, habitat protection, wildfire safety, and climate resiliency, not 7-story market-rate towers greenwashed as “sustainability.”
RESTORATION OF THE SIERRA CLUB
Our movement must be led by those who are accountable to the membership not to billionaires, political consultants, or developer-funded PACs.
