We don't want you to miss this incredible chance to amplify your impact ahead of Giving Tuesday.
NAME: KAREN SHARP SUSTAINER STATUS: Unconfirmed GIVING CHALLENGE DEADLINE: Midnight | | 15 new monthly donors needed to unlock $5,000 | | | | Dear KAREN, Today's Giving Challenge will be over soon, and with it, the powerful opportunity to unlock an additional $5,000 to amplify your impact for birds. And as southern California continues to reckon with the latest coastal oil spill, birds are depending on your protection more than ever. So will you start your monthly gift right away? This special offer ends at midnight tonight and we don't want you to miss this incredible chance to amplify your impact for birds ahead of Giving Tuesday. With each new spill, we get a heartbreaking reminder that birds and oil don't mix—and that even a few drops can kill our avian friends. But history repeats itself time and time again because accidents happen with appalling regularity wherever drilling takes place. This year it was California and Louisiana—and many other places that didn't make nationwide news—but no drilling site is truly safe. The threats to birds are both immediate and long term: Immediate in the destruction of lands and waters that vulnerable species call home; but long term, too, because our dependence on oil hastens climate change, which threatens two thirds of our bird species with extinction. But it doesn't have to be this way, KAREN. We're working to prevent future catastrophes by keeping drilling out of sensitive habitats, making landscapes as resilient as possible, and fighting to strengthen conservation laws like the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to hold industries accountable. And we're pushing for greener energy, which is better for birds and people—and reduces both the risk of spills and the threat of climate change. Monthly donors make it possible for us to enact meaningful climate action and to protect birds and the places they need. That steady, reliable support is critical, and it's why we're asking you to be one of the 15 committed bird lovers we need to step up with a sustaining contribution before midnight tonight. Sincerely, The National Audubon Society | | | | |
