CALL TO ACTION: No ClearCuts in Our National Forests


Action needed. The House Natural Resources Committee recently approved the "Resilient Federal Forests Act (HR2936). This legislation sets arbitrary limits on the Endangered Species Act, overrides Cascade-Siskiyou's National Monument status, permits a huge number of logging projects to go forward without environmental review and much much more. We cannot let this happen to our national forests!

Please make sure that your representative knows that we value our forests, our national monuments and the Endangered Species Act. Please ask them to VOTE NO on HR2936.

EMAILS: Contact forms for your Congressmen and women HERE. Write, in your own words, why you want him or her to vote NO on HR2936 or copy and paste the following:

I urge you to VOTE NO ON HR2936 (The Resilient Federal Forests Act). This law would put our forests at risk to clearcutting, circumvents the Endangered Species Act, threatens biodiversity and watersheds, and threatens National Monuments by rescinding that designation for the Cascade-Siskiyou monument. I care about our national forests as an avid hiker, wildlife watcher and photographer. Please VOTE NO ON HR2936.

PHONE CALLS: Find your Representative's phone numbers HEREIt is best to call one of the local offices, rather than the DC office. Tell the staffer who answers that you expect a NO VOTE on HR2936, the Resilient Federal Forests Act.

RESISTBOT: Text 504-09 and type RESIST. The ResistBot will convert your texts to faxes to your Senators and representative. Please send a text to your Representative asking for a NO VOTE on HR2936 or copy and paste the following:
