OPPOSE THE "SAVE" OUR SEQUOIAS ACT
Giving agencies the freedom to fire up their chainsaws, sidestep environmental protections, crush seedlings, and expand logging—even in National Parks and Wilderness—will not "save" our groves. It will degrade them.

Protesters flooded Chuck Schumer's phone lines from right outside his Manhattan office, hours before tonight's Senate vote on BAAJA.
They all called at once to tell him to vote no on a bill they say would fast-track data centers.
"We can't drink data," the crowd chanted, holding Stop Data Centers signs.
The Senate's first vote on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is tonight.

My current affairs colleagues make the case that unless Democrats replace their leaders, their victory will ultimately be for nothing, because they'll continue the same kind of feckless, disappointing politics that will allow the right to return to power:

I discuss why #BAAJA is a problematic fossil fuel trojan horse in this new commentary for @thebulletin.org: thebulletin.org/2026/11/demo…

Congratulations to #BreakthroughInstitute founder Michael @Shellenberger for ranking #7 on @Newsweek's list of leading climate delayers & deniers!

Congress wants to pass BAAJA in the lame-duck session, and one provision would let Trump’s regulators approve high-voltage power lines your state already rejected, including the ones feeding data centers.

This election was a referendum on data centers. Democrats—don’t fall for the trap! youtu.be/IUyAmZOsGzM
OPPOSE BAAJA
The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653). Call your U.S. Senators and Representatives: (202) 224-3121. Ask them to strongly oppose S. 5653 by 2:30pm Pacific or 5:30pm Eastern on Monday, November 9.

Maybe it’s called the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act because Democrats can’t afford to vote for this atrocious bill if they want Americans to let them keep their jobs in 2028! #Resist #BAAJAisBad

MILE AFTER MILE
Every plot we reach adds to our understanding: how sequoias regenerate, how quickly they grow, how they live among tall shrubs... a never-ending list of questions grounded in a curiosity that builds our relationships with these beautifully burned forests.

HIGH-SEVERITY FIRE PATCHES 🌲 🔥
We are privileged to study the ecological processes that foster forests that live for thousands of years. Protecting these forests means allowing them to become young again and recognizing that intense fire is a beautiful part of their story.

CONE FORMATION
At just three years old, Moran and Huebner (2025) documented a developing cone on a giant sequoia barely 2 feet tall. Why does this matter? If young trees produce fertile seeds, they could help sustain sequoia populations during periods of increased fire activity.

A Day in the Life of Wildfire Scientists 🔥
It is difficult, beautiful work. Few people have witnessed this remarkable chapter in sequoia history, and fewer still have studied it. Through demanding fieldwork, we're documenting the relationships that sustain these ecosystems.

ROADLESS RULE COMMENTS DUE
Use your voice to oppose rescission of the Roadless Rule today. And let's advocate for closing the logging loopholes that leave roadless areas vulnerable!

In Freeman Creek Grove alone, we estimated that the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition has already killed over 158,000 naturally regenerating giant sequoias. Watch the full video on YouTube.

WHEN LOGGING IS SOLD AS A CLIMATE SOLUTION
A recent "Boiling Point" episode left out a major part of the climate conversation. There's much more to this story, and to the science. Read our full response!

This is what it looks like to study giant sequoia natural regeneration following high-intensity fire. Mile after mile, our team of scientists push the limits to gain valuable insights about post-fire habitats. There's an entire forest growing beneath the montane chaparral.
HAPPY FALL EQUINOX 🍁
Today, the fall equinox marks the beginning of a new season and a beautiful shift across the wild. Growth slows, forests settle into autumn, and life adjusts to a changing world. Happy fall from the JMP team!
