Today is Endangered Species Day! There's no better way to celebrate than by helping protect endangered species.
Last month Trump's Extinction Committee gave oil and gas activities in the Gulf of Mexico a sweeping exemption under the Endangered Species Act.
With this exemption the administration could lease more public waters for drilling, and fossil fuel companies could build more infrastructure for new deepwater drilling projects, all at the expense of critically endangered species like Kemp's ridley sea turtles and Rice's whales.
Congress must step in to defend them before it's too late.
Here's where you come in: Call your U.S. Representative now and demand that they take action to protect endangered species in the Gulf and end the expansion of offshore drilling.
Call the Congressional switchboard to be connected to your Representative's office now:
