What Is Save My Louisiana Really Saving?

Save My Louisiana presents itself as a grassroots, homegrown movement standing up for property owners and local communities. But a review of public emails and records paints a very different picture. According to documented correspondence, Save My Louisiana and its predecessor, the LA CO2 Alliance, have been working hand in glove with the Sierra Club’s Delta Chapter and a network of national environmental activist groups to coordinate opposition to the oil and gas industry in Louisiana.

This is not casual overlap. In April 2025, Sierra Club Delta Chapter leadership and Earthworks reached out with an “urgent meeting request ahead of leg session,” directly looping in Save My Louisiana allies. Emails show friendly exchanges, prior in person meetings, and invitations to coordinated parish level organizing efforts. By November 2024, an LA CO2 Alliance board member was thanking a senior Sierra Club organizer for his help and asking to be included in biweekly strategy Zoom calls with activist groups fighting CCS nationwide.

That raises an uncomfortable question. If this is truly a Louisiana first effort, why is it so deeply embedded with national political organizations that have long pushed a broader ideological agenda?

The Sierra Club is not a neutral civic association. It is one of the most powerful environmental lobbying groups in America, with a clear political record and deep ties to progressive causes. When Save My Louisiana board members openly call for greater collaboration with Sierra Club connected groups like Bold Alliance, it starts to look less like a spontaneous local uprising and more like a coordinated left-wing campaign.

Louisianans deserve transparency. Are local concerns driving this movement, or are national activist organizations using Louisiana as the next battleground in a broader war on energy infrastructure?
