John,

As climate change exacerbates habitat loss and fuels the spread of invasive species and wildlife disease, America’s songbirds need your help. The timing of seasons continues to shift, and birds are struggling to time their migrations with the availability of food along their migratory routes. Combined with the worldwide collapse of insect populations, this could spell disaster for many songbird species. Now more than ever, songbirds need you to speak up for climate action that reduces climate-disrupting carbon emissions.

Tell Congress we need to invest in clean energy and zero emission cars to combat climate change and to protect songbirds.

TAKE ACTION

Congress can drive high-impact, smart investment in clean energy with a few small but important changes in tax policy. Reduction in carbon emissions depends on investment in clean energy, energy storage, energy efficiency and innovation in electric vehicles and carbon removal technology.

Yes, it’s true—we can do it all at the same time. Wildlife champions have a small window to help fight climate change by encouraging Congress to make key investments in clean energy and transportation by expanding existing tax credits for innovation. While such legislation is slightly more obscure than other climate change bills, it will spur American businesses to develop and deploy low- and zero-carbon energy and transportation technologies--a win for songbirds and other wildlife challenged by climate change. Tell Congress to take climate action for songbirds today.

Songbirds—beloved by casual listeners, everyday gardeners, and diligent birdwatchers--have declined dramatically in recent decades. Just as the quiet summer springs moved Rachel Carson to act against pesticides, the increasing absence of songbirds should drive us to take climate action today. If Congress invests in pro-climate solutions, clean energy will be able to better compete with heavily subsidized fossil fuels. Decreasing dependence on climate-altering sources of energy is an essential component of climate action—and one that songbirds depend on.

Take action today: Tell our elected leaders to say YES to clean energy and transportation investment, YES to climate action and YES to the return of America’s songbirds.

Thank you for all you do to protect wildlife.
