John,

The Senate just passed its version of the budget bill and now it’s back before the House. We succeeded valiantly in getting the sell-off of millions of acres of public lands tossed out, but this budget bill remains the worst environmental legislation we’ve ever seen — and the fight isn’t over.

Before the House finalizes this destructive deal, tell your representative to vote against any budget bill that sacrifices the environment for the profit of a few.

The all-out assault on wildlife, public lands, and the environment continues. The Republican budget bill would let extractive industries destroy hundreds of millions of acres of public lands and offshore waters, imperiling critically endangered species like Rice's whales in the Gulf of Mexico, polar bears in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and beluga whales in Alaska's Cook Inlet. The bill would also cancel important clean energy investments targeting the climate crisis — while at the same time reducing fees for corporate polluters. These shortsighted corporate giveaways are intended to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

The fate of our cherished public lands, livable climate, and imperiled wildlife shouldn't be dropped into the hands of the highest bidder. Urge your representative to oppose any budget bill that sells out our nation's wild animals and wild places.
