Sierra Club

The Sierra Club, apparently, is being split by a question about whether immigration should be considered bad for the environment. Officially, the Sierra Club currently takes no position on immigration. But the organization is dealing with a faction, running for leadership positions in the club's spring elections, that wants to change that policy.

Apparently, many of the people who are trying to change the policy have joined the club recently and come from external anti-immigration groups.

This is a little bit alarming, especially if it turns out to be (as it seems) a coordinated, targeted attack. This article is worth a read. Here's more.
