Our beaches and shorelines are special. They provide safe havens for birds like Piping Plovers, Least Terns, Sanderlings, and many, many more. We can’t let the administration strip these places of their sands. We can’t let them put threatened shorebirds at even greater risk. To stop them, we’ve filed a lawsuit. With your help, we’ll see it through. [Start a dependable monthly gift today, and you’ll help us mount our strongest possible fight for shorebirds and their habitats. Until midnight tonight, your first three months will be matched dollar for dollar, so please don’t miss this chance to get your impact doubled.]( We’re suing the administration to uphold the Coastal Barrier Resources Act, to keep protected beaches safe from being dredged and mined—to keep the sand that nesting birds need right where it belongs, and to maintain coastal communities’ best defense against storms. We’re in this fight for as long as it takes to win it, and we need you at our side. [The most powerful way you can help birds today is by starting your monthly gift.

But instead of giving the vulnerable birds the protections they need, the administration just announced its plan to illegally plunder our undeveloped beaches—endangering birds and people alike. We’re taking them to court to preserve these special places that birds depend on, but we need you with us. [Make a sustaining monthly gift today, and a special match will double your first three contributions. This match ends at midnight tonight, so please don’t miss this opportunity to do your best for birds.]( The Coastal Barrier Resources Act has been a powerful, effective protection for 3.5 million acres of coastal land, ensuring safe habitats for shorebirds and much-needed buffer zones for coastal communities against storms and flooding. But the administration plans to mine sands from undeveloped coastal lands—using taxpayer money—carting it far away from where it’s needed most. If their plan goes ahead, it will devastate pristine coastal habitats and the shorebirds that live there, and, in a year predicted to have a worse-than-normal hurricane season, it will leave communities vulnerable to punishing coastal storms. We won’t let that happen. We’re suing to keep our coastlines safe and intact, but to mount our strongest defense [we need you.]( You have the power to protect these beaches for all who need them—now with twice the impact. Will you please help? [Share your strength with us monthly, and start before midnight tonight, while this limited-time match still doubles your first three gifts.]( Sincerely, The National Audubon Society [Give Monthly]( Photo: Lorraine Minns/Audubon Photography Awards [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( National Audubon Society 225 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 USA [(844) 428-3826](#) [audubon.org]( © 2020 National Audubon Society, Inc.
