One Hundred Miles asked that I remind my representatives, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, that a horrendous bill is trying to get passed.
That would be HR 9436.
North Atlantic Right Whales use this area of the Atlantic Ocean as the nursery for bearing and raising their young.
However, this bill in the US House of Representatives threatens their future.
In 2022, a bill was passed to delay the regulation of commercial fishing gear that causes entanglements with whales.
Now, HR 9436 threatens to delay that needed regulation until 2035.
Seriously?
Why are they allowing the commercial fishing industry to threaten the lives of 380 right whales?
So, I have spoken up and spoken out to my congressmen to make a stand.
Please click the link and join me to save these creatures.
Thank you.

Faustina,
Thank you for taking action to protect North Atlantic right whales from entanglement by asking our state representatives to oppose HR 9436.
The more people that speak up, the stronger our impact will be.
