As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump tried to distance himself from Project 2025 -- a detailed plan from the Heritage Foundation to dismantle the federal government and eliminate environmental protections. Now, more than three months into Trump's second term, he appears to be following through on much of the Project 2025 agenda.

Did you know that May is Endangered Species Month? Yet instead of strengthening protections, Trump and other extremist politicians are working to gut the Endangered Species Act and sell off critical habitats for corporate profit. Together, we know we can protect wildlife like the red wolf, monarch butterfly, and sea turtle, but not if corporate polluters succeed in weakening protections. That's why in our next Action Hour, we'll take meaningful action to safeguard biodiversity and protect the wildlife we love.

RSVP here to join a special Endangered Species Action Hour on Wednesday, May 28.

Right now, Trump and extremist Republicans in Congress are attempting to make more drastic cuts to clean energy, climate action, public lands, Medicaid, and other essential government programs we rely on -- in order to pay for more tax breaks for their billionaire buddies. But the Republican Party is deeply divided on many of the worst cuts, especially to clean energy, healthcare, and education, which means we have a real chance of stopping them.

This moment is critical for us to act. Call your representative today to demand they oppose cuts to climate, public lands, and health protections at 844-672-5067 and learn more about this disastrous budget bill and the actions you can take.

The Trump administration and its allies in Congress are working overtime to hand over our national forests to the timber industry. The Fix Our Forests Act claims to be a solution to wildfire, but it's a dangerous giveaway to the timber industry. We need to make sure that Congress hears us loud and clear: Logging is not the way to "fix" our forests.

Help spread the word by writing a letter to the editor revealing the true nature of this harmful bill.
