Let’s address the real national emergency: the climate crisis
I am alarmed that this morning President Trump declared a national emergency for his manufactured “crisis” on the southern border. This is profoundly disturbing. Not only is the President circumventing Congress and the Constitution, but he’s making it clear
that he thinks he, alone, has the power to make these determinations. He’s wrong in so many ways.
Become a Cosponsor of the Bipartisan Albatross and Petrel Conservation Act
Many migratory seabird species are in trouble. Of the 22 species of albatross, 15 are threatened with extinction, while the remaining seven species are near threatened, according the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). More than half of
all petrel species are threatened with extinction. The most significant threat to these species is from bycatch in longline fisheries, especially from foreign fleets in the Pacific Ocean and illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries (IUU). Other threats
include marine pollution and invasive predators on nesting islands.
