[Sustainer match] Attacks on birds ongoing

The onslaught against the MBTA hasn’t stopped Need to give your inbox a break? [Pause fundraising messages]( for two weeks. I wanted to make sure you saw this message, because even as the global pandemic rightly takes up much of our attention, the situation for birds is as dire as ever. The administration is trying to take advantage of our national distraction to make their gutted version of the MBTA permanent. The attacks on birds aren’t slowing down and neither can we. To mount the strongest possible defense of our best law for birds, we need 79 new monthly donors to stand with birds today. [Will you be one of them? Start your monthly gift today, before midnight, and your first three contributions will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your power to protect birds.]( With the support from [your reliable monthly gift,]( we’ll carry out our multi-part plan to fight these attacks and keep the MBTA strong: - We’ll challenge these attacks in the courts with a federal lawsuit to uphold the MBTA. - We’ll champion the Migratory Bird Protection Act in Congress to reaffirm the MBTA’s protections. - We’ll pursue powerful new laws at the state level to protect migratory birds. The stakes couldn’t be higher: if these attacks succeed, companies would get a free pass for killing birds. [We can’t let that happen. You have the power to protect birds for the long term by starting a monthly gift today, which will be instantly matched. Don’t miss this chance to double your impact for birds.]( Michelle Ehrhardt Senior Director, Membership National Audubon Society [National Audubon Society]( [Great Egret.]( Great Egret. [We must stop attacks on birds. All monthly gifts now matched 2X!]( [Save the MBTA]( STATUS: Unconfirmed MATCH DEADLINE: Midnight [Donate]( Your monthly gift counts double today It’s unbelievable. Even now, as our country struggles to respond to an unprecedented global emergency, the administration is still spending time and energy continuing their onslaught against birds. They’re expecting conservationists the be distracted right now, but we’re going to show them: we’re still here, fighting for a better future for birds. [When you help with a monthly gift today, every dollar you give will get instantly doubled for your first three gifts. Please make the most of this match by standing up for birds right away.]( In the midst of this national crisis, the administration is continuing their scheme to weaken the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, moving forward at full speed with changes that would gut this crucial law and put birds at risk. We’ve asked that they put their changes on hold due to the coronavirus emergency, but instead of listening to bird-lovers’ concerns, they’ve let the public comment deadline come and go without any extensions. They clearly expect us to let them win. But we didn’t get this far by giving up so easily. We can’t let down the birds we love—and with you on our side, we don’t have to. Even though Audubon’s staff is now remote and staying safe, we’re still hard at work fighting these attacks on birds and their habitats. [Through your dependable monthly support, now with twice the impact thanks to this special match]( we’ll continue to expose and resist the administration’s actions. This is a difficult time for all of us, but birds need your care and support more than ever. [Please do what you can for the birds you love: donate monthly to sustain our best work on their behalf, and your gift will have 2X the power to protect.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Donate Now]( Photo: Luke Franke/Audubon [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2020 National Audubon Society, Inc.
