Take Action and Advocate Effectively

One strength of the Audubon Network is its ability to mobilize around ever-evolving conservation challenges through political advocacy, community education, and engagement. Lawmakers care about your views and opinions. As a constituent, you have a unique power to convey your concerns about issues affecting birds, wildlife, and their habitats. Participating in Audubon's advocacy efforts is easy and will go a long way in protecting our birds and wildlife. Here are some ways you can take action:

Actions You Can Take

  • Sign up for Action Alerts from Audubon.
  • Join your local Audubon chapter and get involved with its conservation committee.
  • If you have 15 minutes, call your state legislators.
  • If you have an hour, schedule in-district meetings with your legislators, who often hold office hours at local coffee shops or community centers.
  • If you have a half-day, travel to Olympia to meet with your legislators, testify at a hearing, or submit public comments on a bill.
  • If you want to make a strong public statement, write letters-to-the-editor or op-eds.
