The Sierra Club is suing the SEC after it failed to respond to a FOIA request for documents on blocked climate resolutions.
The Sierra Club scored a win over the Environmental Protection Agency when it failed to produce documents under a FOIA request relating to former Trump EPA head Scott Pruitt.
Activists representing more than 350 environmental, civic, and college student organizations held a press conference in Downtown manhattan and delivered a letter to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in support of his investigation of ExxonMobil.
The Sierra Club filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California after the SEC failed to comply with a FOIA request made in April seeking records to help explain the rejections of shareholder proposals relating to climate change. Sierra Club Senior attorney Joshua Smith said in a statement,
The Sierra Club alleges that the SEC, "has demonstrated a pattern and practice of failing to comply with FOIA requests by improperly using 'complex track' determinations to shield itself from complying with lawful requests, and thereby to undermine the purpose of the Act."The Sierra Club has a recent history of success litigating FOIA issues against the Trump administration.
