On Thursday, March 9, please join the nationwide call-in day to support a strong Endangered Species Act! On Thursday, please call your Senators and urge them to (1) support a strong Endangered Species Act and (2) oppose any efforts to change the Act this year.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee may take action on an Endangered Species Act bill as soon as this month. We need your help to make sure the Senate supports the Endangered Species Act and to ensure that no bill dismantling the Act passes the Senate!

For over 30 years, the Endangered Species Act has been a safety net for wildlife, fish and plants on the brink of extinction. It has been successful in preventing the extinction of the American bald eagle, gray wolf and Pacific salmon, as well as many other species.

However, the Endangered Species Act is under threat from special interests and the politicians they give money to. The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would significantly weaken protections for endangered species and habitat. It is now up to the U.S. Senate to save the Endangered Species Act!

It is critically important that Senators from across the country hear from their constituents that the American public supports the Endangered Species Act and the fish, plants and wildlife it protects in their states. Please join with Americans across the country by calling your Senators on Thursday, March 9. Please ask your friends, relatives and colleagues to join you in calling. It only takes about three minutes of your time, but the results could last a lifetime.
