Use Your Voice to Advocate for Birds

Use Your Voice to Advocate for Birds

Written by Adam Maxwell of Audubon Washington and Lori Danielson

The Audubon in Washington Advocacy Day is scheduled for December 7th, 2021. Audubon Washington will be working with local chapters to schedule virtual meetings with legislators that will provide the opportunity for you to join other chapter members in speaking up for the birds. No need to go to Olympia, instead we’ll talk to the legislators from the comfort of home!  Register here if you’d like to join.

Speaking to your representatives is one of the most powerful actions you can take to help steer the future of our region. The legislature meets for a short 60-day session in 2022, which means it’s even more important to take the opportunity to make sure Audubon’s priorities are top of mind before our legislators head into the new year. We’ll be looking to advance policies that support bird-friendly clean energy, Puget Sound recovery, and carbon-friendly agriculture. 

Join us in making sure our state legislators do everything they can in the upcoming legislative session to protect the places birds and people need to thrive in a changing climate.

To help you prepare, local Audubon leaders will be hosting preparatory meetings in late November and early December. Our state’s Audubon Washington office will also host sessions to go over our policy agenda and answer any questions you may have. Together we have the power to make sure our elected officials are ready to get to work in 2022, protecting birds and people, now and into the future.
