Act Now to Protect the Endangered Species Act

Since being signed into law by President Nixon in 1973, the Endangered Species Act has been a tremendous success, restoring the populations of wildlife on the brink of extinction and providing a model to restore biodiversity across the globe. Yet despite this record of success, politicians compromised by corporate polluters have been intent on weakening or eliminating the Endangered Species Act entirely. 

The Endangered Species Act is the last line of defense for species facing extinction like the gray wolf, grizzly bear, and orca. Send a message to Congress showing how important this landmark law is to you and the natural spaces you love.

Help Protect Our Wildest Forests from Trump

Docket Number: FS-2025-0001-223869

Our undeveloped national forests are the heart of our public land. But now one of the most important -- and most underappreciated -- conservation policies is on the verge of being cut by Trump. If the Roadless Area Conservation Rule is repealed, 45 million acres of pristine national forests across the country would be opened up for the first time in over 20 years to road building and the logging, mining, and extractive industries that come with that. 

The policy was created by the Forest Service because it was ecologically critical, fiscally responsible, and overwhelmingly popular. Now the administration is repealing it citing fire concerns and timber value - but neither of those justifications stands up to scrutiny.

Last year, over 600,000 people voiced their support for this rule, but the Trump administration is steamrolling ahead and ignoring the American public. Our goal is to continue to demonstrate how popular this policy is, and to raise more awareness about it, by submitting even more comments to the administration than last year. 📣 Join your voice with thousands of others by submitting your comment today!

Tell Big Tech: We Need Your Energy to be Clean!

Big data centers have created a massive surge in energy demand, putting our climate goals at serious risk. Many Big Tech companies claim to be climate leaders, yet their data centers are driving utilities to build gas-fired power plants and extend the lives of dirty coal plants. Without a change in course, today’s data centers will drive pollution for decades to come.

With the explosive growth of data centers, big energy users must be held accountable for a 100% clean energy future.

Corporate energy buyers can help us transition to clean energy in a way that benefits everyone, but that will only happen if they demand it! 

Make your voice heard to hold big energy users accountable by leaving a personal message about why you want big energy users to demand clean energy.
