Congressional attacks on the Endangered Species Act continue to mount. Last month, the House of Representatives passed HR 6874, a bill that would place gray wolves in peril by stripping their Endangered Species Act protections. Now House Republicans are trying to add text from that bill to a must-pass spending bill. The vote is expected before the end of the month.

Tell your members of Congress to remove this attack on wolves from the congressional spending bill.

Speak out now against Trump’s continued effort to use taxpayer dollars to fund his border boondoggle.

A new study has found that our national parks are warming at twice the national average, and rainfall in the collective area of the national park system has decreased far more sharply than across the rest of the U.S. One consequence is that national parks such as Glacier, Joshua Tree, and Sequoia may lose the namesake treasures they were set aside to protect.

Why are our national parks more vulnerable than other lands?

The Trump administration wants to limit immigration from people who legally accept government help to feed, shelter, and care for their families. One in four U.S. children has an immigrant parent. Yet some parents who accept government help for their kids could soon be risking their own status in this country. Imagine being in a position where protecting your child’s health means facing deportation.

Sam Hobson, a wildlife photographer in the U.K., specializes in documenting animals that make their home in cities. “The world would be a much more depressing place without the potential of having a chance encounter with the wild," he says "even if it’s just during a walk in the park."

That’s how Barron’s characterized Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s biggest investor in fossil fuel companies—and thus in climate destruction. Fink says he wants to be a climate leader and has been outspoken about the need for greater corporate social responsibility. Right now, that's mostly talk—but if enough of us raise our voices, Fink will have to square his actions with his words.

Last week, the U.S. Border Patrol launched tear gas canisters at Central American migrants caravan as they tried to cross the border.
