The Endangered Species Act and Wildlife Protections Are Under Attack

Legislation is moving forward in Congress that would gut or even repeal the Endangered Species Act (ESA) -- our most powerful tool for saving wildlife, such as gray wolves, grizzly bears, and salmon, from extinction. These beloved species can't speak for themselves. It’s up to us to rise and defend them before they disappear forever. 

Tell your members of Congress: We must protect the ESA before more species are pushed to the brink.

Act now to defend wildlife protections

Tell Public Pensions: Hold Polluters Accountable

State pensions are using our public sector workers' retirement funds, supported by tax dollars, to fuel the climate crisis by continuing to fund big oil, gas, and other polluters. But they could be a part of the solution. Holding corporations accountable for their climate-wrecking behavior is a critical way to reduce risk to workers' retirement savings and protect our future.

Send a message to your state's public pension fund to vote for climate action.

Trump’s Plan to Eliminate FEMA Could Spell Disaster for Impacted Communities

FEMA has been on the frontline of responding to major disasters, responsible for everything from coordinating recovery response to assisting impacted families. It is the primary way the federal government mobilizes on behalf of those in need after a disaster. 

Now, the Trump administration wants to eliminate this crucial agency as extreme weather events grow in frequency and intensity.

Protecting the Apalachicola River

When an out-of-state oil drilling company threatened to explore oil prospects in this treasured waterway in the Florida panhandle, kids from around the region spoke up and out. Their vocal opposition helped inspire Florida lawmakers to pass a bill to ban drilling near the parts of the Apalachicola River that could be most harmed by an oil spill.

Youth activists in Florida prove that you're never too young to protect what you love.

Behold the Luna Moth

What’s green, as big as your hand, and might help you mail a letter? The luna moth! Its name comes from the moon-like spots on its giant wings -- luna is the Latin word for moon -- which can stretch across 4.5 inches.

This insect is so cool, it was featured on a postage stamp.
