The Senate and House of Representatives have now left Washington until September, but the damage they’ve done this year is still creating shockwaves. That’s why we’re building a war chest to go head-to-head with pro-extinction efforts. You can help us take them on by lending your support today! [We’ll be ready for them: Your gift now MATCHED to go 8X as far and make an even more powerful difference for threatened and endangered wildlife!]( When members of Congress return, they’ll be well-rested – and the loudest voices will be prepared to finish off their assault on protections that are keeping vulnerable animals safe. Rep. Bruce Westerman’s bills will shatter the power of the Endangered Species Act to save imperiled species. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s deadly “Trust the Science Act” will strip away much-needed federal protections for gray wolves. The list goes on and on. We’re tracking every threat, and we need to be prepared to respond. This is our best chance to hold them off: We’re raising $100,000 to challenge every attack they bring, and you can make sure we get there! So please, while we still have time: Pitch in today, and we’ll match every dollar you give to make eight times the impact for the animals who need us! [YES, 8X MY GIFT FOR WILDLIFE]( Your dedication is the key to our success – thank you for answering the call.
