Dear John,

Demand your legislators protect migratory birds from Trump’s rollbacks.

The Trump Administration keeps brazenly rolling back environmental protections on its way out the door. This time migratory birds are at risk. Take action now to stop Trump from harming migratory birds.
The fossil fuel industry, construction firms, land developers, and other giant corporations kill up to a billion birds each year. If Trump gets his way, they will not have to face consequences.
Trump knows he only has a few weeks left to push this giveaway to Big Oil through. So he’s failing to allow the public the opportunity to comment. We need your help, John, to push Congress to stop him.
Demand your legislators take action to protect migratory birds.
When the first attempt at this brazen rule change was presented, U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni wrote “It is not only a sin to kill a mockingbird, it is also a crime... But if the Department of the Interior has its way, many mockingbirds and other migratory birds that delight people and support ecosystems throughout the country will be killed without legal consequence."
Up to a billion migratory birds each year are electrocuted, poisoned, or killed in oil pits, power lines, wind turbines, and collisions with buildings. Now, the Trump Administration is trying to strip away some of the only consequences for Big Polluters when they decimate migratory birds.
This is not only illegal, but also cruel. Birds are already becoming scarcer in our skies. Now is the time to protect them, not to relax the rules on killing them.
Take action to stop the Trump Administration from killing more migrant birds.
The Trump Administration has already received bipartisan opposition to this proposal from members of Congress, tribal governments, sportsmen, birdwatchers, and scientists. But it keeps pressing forward.
The administration wants to make it so corporations are not responsible for their environmental destruction. By stripping these protections, the Trump Administration is attempting to allow the fossil fuel industry to harm of our wild places and communities and make it easier for polluters to drill and spill without consequence.
We need your help, John, to protect migratory birds from mega-corporations and polluters.
Sign now: Demand Congress take action to protect migratory birds from Big Polluters.
Standing with you,
Nicole Ghio,
Senior fossil fuels program manager,
