The Trump administration just convened the Endangered Species Committee — aka the "God Squad" — for the first time in more than 30 years.
Its mission? To grant all oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico a sweeping exemption under the Endangered Species Act — that is, a free pass to dodge the law.
After just 32 minutes of discussion, the group voted to do just that.
This decision directly harms imperiled species in the Gulf including critically endangered Rice's whales, Kemp's ridley sea turtles, manatees and more.
We're in court fighting back and if you're as outraged by this decision as we are, you can help.
Here's how: Tell your legislators to oppose the God Squad's exemption and ask that it immediately be withdrawn to save whales, sea turtles, and other critically imperiled marine species in the Gulf of Mexico.
