 A Tribute to Retiring State Representative Mary MushinskyFor 46 years, Mary M. Mushinsky has served as State Representative in the 85th District. Sierra Club has worked closely with Mary on many issues over the years. In 2015, she received a national Sierra Club award for her legislative efforts. Learn more about how Mary reshaped environmental protection in Connecticut. |  Join the Ride to End Fossil Fuels at Our Community Events!At the end of the month, about 20 bikers will ride 100 miles across Connecticut to protest the expansion of fossil fuels. Along the way, we will highlight fossil fuel infrastructure currently at threat of expansion and its impacts on our health, climate, and environment. We hope to see you along the way! |  Mitigating Climate Risk in State Pensions: How Connecticut RatesPublic pensions manage trillions of dollars on behalf of workers and retirees, and their ability to provide reliable retirement benefits depends on the health of the broader economy. Climate change poses a “systemic” risk that will affect companies across all markets. See how our state measures up and how you can invest in climate solutions, too. |
