| When Audubon heads to Capitol Hill to talk to lawmakers about issues that impact birds and the places they need, we hear: “I need to hear from my constituents.” That’s where you come in! Your letters, phone calls, and visits to your members of Congress let them know what issues are important to the people in their districts, and we can’t thank you enough. More than 16,000 people like you have already contacted their elected officials about the importance of protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from drilling. While the Refuge has never faced a bigger threat from Congress, we have held the line before against threats to the Refuge, and we’ll be relying on your continued support to fend off attacks this year. If you haven’t already, please ask your members of Congress to protect the Arctic Refuge. |

| In March, President Trump signed two executive orders to begin dismantling measures that reduce carbon pollution and fight climate change. The administration directed the Environmental Protection Agency to rewrite the Clean Power Plan, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants, and to reconsider a set of strong fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks. In response, Audubon published a press release criticizing the orders and calling for climate solutions to protect birds and the places they depend on. We will continue to work for bipartisan policies to cut carbon pollution and address the impacts of the changing climate on wildlife and our communities. Read more. |
