CLOSING TODAY – Sign Letter to Interior to Protect the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Earlier this year, the Department of Interior issued a proposed rule based upon their Solicitor’s Opinion, removing prohibitions on the incidental take of migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). This rule will undermine the ability of
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to address incidental take of birds from industrial hazards. This interpretation runs counter to the intent of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and could have wide-ranging consequences for the protection of migratory birds.
It would also diminish our commitments under numerous bilateral treaties for the protection of these bird species.

introduced to offer free college, refinance student loans, or cancel student debt altogether. Protecting programs like PSLF and Federal Work-Study, along with increasing Pell Grant funding, would certainly reduce the amount of debt students accumulate,
but these actions alone will not fix the larger problem. Addressing the root of the student loan crisis must center on sharp transparency with borrowers and a loan disclosure that is simple, accessible, and easy to understand.
