Don’t let Trump and Big Oil wipe out endangered species in the Gulf

What's At Stake

On March 31, a committee of Trump appointees met for all of 15 minutes and voted unanimously to let oil and gas companies ignore endangered species protections for wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. With the wave of a hand and no public input, they put whales, sea turtles, fish, corals, birds, and numerous other species at an even higher risk of extinction. This callous and unprecedented disregard for endangered species only serves to benefit oil and gas industries’ bottom lines. 

Thankfully, members of Congress are fighting back. A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Don Beyer (VA-08), introduced the Protect Gulf Life Act, which would restore endangered species protections in the Gulf and walk back the committee’s disastrous decision. 

Congress must pass this bill before it’s too late. Contact your representative today and tell them to support the Protect Gulf Life Act. 

Humans aren’t isolated from our environment; what affects other creatures affects us, too. Once these species are gone, they’re gone for good, and the effects will be catastrophic. We need the Protect Gulf Life Act.
