John,

Exactly one year ago, the tragic death of a newborn orca calf brought our
endangered orcas even closer to extinction. Now, two more endangered orcas
living off the Pacific coast are feared dead, John.

Please send a message urging state and federal elected officials in Washington,
Oregon, and Idaho to help prevent endangered orcas from disappearing forever.

DEMAND ACTION FOR ORCAS
[[link removed]]

Our imperiled resident orcas went missing from their home waters off the Pacific
coast this past June— for the very first time on record . Scientists think they know why: wild Chinook salmon, which make up 80% of the
orcas’ diet, are at record-low numbers in the rivers that flow into coastal
waters where this endangered population of orca feed.

Will you take action to protect America’s endangered orcas and the salmon they
need to survive, John?

The decline of orcas is linked directly to the collapse of wild Chinook salmon
runs in the Snake River. Four dams on the lower Snake River have a chokehold on wild salmon runs and are
driving them toward extinction. Spawning Chinook salmon desperately need access
to 5,500 miles of pristine spawning habitat in lower Snake River tributaries. Tell Pacific Northwest elected officials to rethink how we manage the lower
Snake RIver system and champion the urgent actions needed to save the salmon our
endangered orca need to thrive.

We need senators and representatives in the Pacific Northwest to be true leaders
and prioritize this urgent issue—in their states and in Congress. Your message today will also call for state and federal leaders to champion
efforts that will help both imperiled orcas and salmon recover.

Today, on the heartbreaking anniversary of an orca mother’s grief, you can
demand action to restore Chinook salmon runs so that the endangered orca
population can recover. Key elected officials from Washington, Oregon, and Idaho
need to hear from friends of wildlife like you, John. Can America’s endangered orcas count on you to speak out?
