Reminder to please sign onto the attached letter opposing Rep. Golden's amendment to the CJS appropriations bill (#103 to Division A of H.R. 3055).

This amendment would severely hinder the recovery of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, blocking the agency-led science-based process to save these animals, and setting a dangerous precedent for Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) implementation more broadly.

Please use this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyc7ALbWKFQjQcVMsh2WmSaTMtKqgGpjAD27SJVKio348Wig/viewform?usp=sf_link> to sign on by COB TODAY (6/17).  Current signers below.

Thanks!

Subject: Urgent sign on letter opposing Golden amdt. on right whales - Closing COB Mon.

[Apologies for cross-posting]

All,

Attached for group sign on is a letter opposing Rep. Golden's amendment to the CJS appropriations bill (#103 to Division A of H.R. 3055), which would severely hinder the recovery of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, blocking the agency-led science-based process to save these animals, and setting a dangerous precedent for Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) implementation more broadly. We are urging leadership not to allow a vote on this amendment.

Please use this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyc7ALbWKFQjQcVMsh2WmSaTMtKqgGpjAD27SJVKio348Wig/viewform?usp=sf_link> to sign on by COB Monday (6/17).

Thank you,
Nora
