The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been a historically strong bipartisan law that’s been extremely popular with voters across the country. But now, Republicans are choosing to ignore their constituents so they can make a dangerous partisan point.
In the past three weeks, Republicans have voted to overturn protections for the northern long-eared bat and the lesser prairie chicken, as well as limiting the scope of what’s considered a species’ critical habitat. With each passing week, they find new ways to chip at the ESA.
This speaks to a really alarming trend we’re seeing in Congress right now: Republicans are willing to throw our endangered species (and the science calling for their protection) to the wayside so they can further their own anti-environment agenda.
Expanding protections for our critical habitats is essential to ensuring endangered species like the long-eared bat can survive and recover in the ecosystems they call home — and our SEEC Members are fighting back against these bad-faith rollbacks in Congress every day.
Thanks to your help in 2022, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 118th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustainable future.
