John, wildfire season is here. And it’s putting our public lands on the brink of catastrophe.
Throughout the entire month of July, we were sitting on pins and needles to see whether the giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park would survive two raging fires. California declared a state of emergency, and thousands of local residents were forced to flee.
Fortunately, due to aggressive firefighting, the giant sequoias survived unscathed. But these fires should serve as a wake-up call of how close we are to losing some of the national treasures in our national parks for good.
Climate change makes heat waves three times more likely than 100 years ago and has placed us in a 24-year megadrought, which creates tinderboxes for wildfires. Wildfire “seasons” are becoming so long that the term is becoming useless.
John, we cannot allow our national treasures to be jeopardized because we refused to take action. Can you contribute to supporting our SEEC Members as they continue fighting to save our national parks? [[link removed]]

The negative impacts of a drier, hotter climate are only expected to accelerate as climate change worsens and we reach environmental tipping points. That’s why SEEC members are leading the way towards a more climate-resilient future.
Just this month, the House approved the Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act, a bill that would assist communities in the West manage the ongoing megadrought and more severe wildfires. This bill, sponsored by SEEC member Rep. Joe Neguse, will increase firefighter pay and benefits, boost drought and wildfire resilience and mitigation projects, protect watersheds, and so much more. These projects will not only keep communities safe from climate effects but also help prevent more destructive fires from getting out of control.
SEEC members are fighting in Congress to create the level of federal government-driven action required to address the worst effects of climate change. Contribute to our movement to fight the climate crisis today, and together we can create the necessary change to combat the harmful impacts of global warming. [[link removed]]
