Urge Your Representative to Restore Funding, End Tongass Subsidies

The House of Representatives this week will take up the Interior Appropriations bill that funds our land management agencies. For the first time ever, the Congress proposes to eliminate funding for all new land acquisitions in Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and to slash funding for the Forest Legacy program.

But in a stark display of twisted priorities, the bill would continue massive subsidies for road-building and logging on our largest national forest, the Tongass in Alaska. We still have a chance to restore some common sense to this legislation but we’ll need your help to do it!

Please Take Action Today!
Our representatives need to know that you oppose the elimination of LWCF land acquisition money and deep cuts to Forest Legacy funding. And they need to know that you support a package of conservation-minded amendments that would help protect the Tongass, safeguard poor and minority communities that now suffer disproportionately from dirty air and water, and would block weakened rules for sewage dumping in our waterways. There’s very little time: only phone calls and e-mails will reach your representative in time.
