Tell Congress to Change Course on a Bill that Risks Harming Wildlife

A bill being considered by Congress right now risks harming thousands of species and lands and waters in every state, including Tribal and public lands. The current version of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653) will weaken protections for wildlife and waters, reduce community input, and limit Tribal consultation when the government evaluates permits for pipelines, powerplants, mines, oil and gas drilling, transmission lines, and data centers. And it would lock in harmful decisions by the Trump administration without any ability of reconsideration in the courts or by a future administration.

Send an urgent message telling Congress to immediately insist on revisions to the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act to protect wildlife, lands, and waters across the country - and to vote against the bill if those changes aren’t made.

I am urgently calling on you today not to support the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act as it is currently written. The bill would sacrifice wildlife, ecosystems, and communities across our nation by limiting community and Tribal voices in the permitting of powerplants, pipelines, data centers, transmission lines, and oil, gas, and mining operations.

The greatest threats to wildlife include habitat loss, invasive species, disease, pollution, as well as climate change, which also amplifies all the other threats. While wildlife survival urgently requires accelerating emission reductions, those gains are not guaranteed, and could even be reversed, under this bill. Meanwhile, adverse impacts to wildlife, waters, Tribal lands, public lands, and communities will result from the package's statutory concessions affecting the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Historic Preservation Act, as well as from restrictions on judicial remedies and the ability to revisit ecologically harmful decisions. These certain impacts on nature and wildlife should not be traded away for uncertain climate benefits.

I do not want you to support the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act in its current form. I do want you to make sure substantive and needed changes on behalf of wildlife, waters, Tribal lands, public lands, and communities like mine are made - and to vote against the bill if those changes are not made before it moves forward. Thank you.

Sincerely,
