Build a Better Future for Birds, People, and the Places We Need

We trust our elected leaders to listen to scientists and experts — especially when it comes to decisions that will affect future generations.

Audubon's own research shows that if we do nothing to combat climate change, two-thirds of bird species in North America face extinction. We can help reduce these impacts on birds by supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and investments in natural infrastructure that will make our communities more resilient to climate threats like extreme weather and rising sea levels.

Urge your members of Congress to support programs that build more resilient communities — with more jobs and cleaner air — while protecting birds, restoring habitat, and addressing the threat of climate change.

By signing up, you are affirming your membership in the National Audubon Society Action Fund and your right to vote for a member of the Action Fund's Board of Directors. You will receive emails from Audubon organizations about our conservation work and how you can help birds; you may unsubscribe at any time.
Dear [Decisionmaker],

It is time to revive our economy, and that begins with rebuilding our country's infrastructure. As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to consider including investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and natural infrastructure in any upcoming infrastructure bills. These job-creating investments increase the resiliency and sustainability of our nation's critical infrastructure, expand the use of green and nature-based solutions for restoring ecosystems, reduce emissions and pollution, and build the clean energy future that we need.

I ask that you prioritize investments that:

- Support the growing number of clean energy jobs;

- Support the outdoor economy that includes parks, recreation, and conservation — which contributes $887 billion annually to the U.S. economy and supports 7.6 million American jobs;

- Grow the restoration economy that generated almost $25 billion in economic output and supported more than 221,000 jobs in 2014 alone, primarily in low-income and rural communities, with average salaries of over $75,000;

- Restore and increase the resilience of our coasts with natural infrastructure, which NOAA estimates creates 15 to 30 jobs for every million dollars in investment and provides vital protections to communities and ecosystems threatened by climate change; and

- Invest in measures to support water conservation in Western states to stabilize water supplies vital to public health, the environment, and the economy.

I hope I can count on you to champion these investments in order to protect our communities, birds, and the places we share.

Thank you,
[Your name]
