When you go solar with SunPower and the Sierra Club, you’ll receive a $1,000 mail-in rebate and the Sierra Club will receive $1,000 to support our work to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet.

| My Diné Child Will Hunt, Bead, and Everything In Between Nellis Kennedy-Howard, director of Equity, Inclusion, and Justice for the Sierra Club, has written an article for Autostraddle about raising her baby to celebrate their Diné heritage by hunting, fishing, and beading, no matter their gender. “I want all the richness of every cultural tradition in their background to be available to them,” Kennedy-Howard says. “I look forward to taking them to our family hunting spot and climbing an old pine tree that overlooks a valley of aspen that I know as well as I know myself.” Read Kennedy-Howard’s deeply felt article. |
