ACTION ALERT
Before 2022 Ends: Tell Congress to Invest in Bird Conservation
[link removed]



Dear Audubon Advocate,

Birds are telling us that we must do more to invest in their future. To bring birds back from a decline of 3 billion birds since 1970, we need federal funding to implement climate solutions, conserve natural resources, build resilient communities, and protect birds.

If Congress doesn’t pass a new appropriations bill by the end of the year, funding will be at a stand-still for programs that protect our air, water, coasts, and communities, putting birds and people at risk.

>>>Act now: Tell your Members of Congress to support conservation agencies and programs that help protect birds: [link removed]
Current federal funding expires December 16, 2022.

As the climate crisis continues to impact wildlife and communities nationwide, Congress must seize this opportunity to address the multiple, ongoing challenges we are facing—extended drought and wildfire in the West, billion-dollar storm events ravaging coastal communities, the toxic spread of invasive species, and negative impacts to human health related to systemic underinvestment.

We rely on agencies like the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S Army Corps of Engineers to support environmental justice and protect our public lands, air, water, coasts, climate, and communities. Without passing a spending bill, these agencies are limited by current funding and budgets, which are inadequate to address ongoing conservation needs.

>>>Please write to your Members of Congress today and urge them to invest in climate solutions, conserve natural resources, build resilient communities, and protect birds before time runs out this year: [link removed]

Sincerely,

Julie Hill-Gabriel
Vice President of Water Conservation & Interim Vice President of Coastal Conservation
