Good morning – thanks to your sharing, Audubon advocates sent nearly 1,000

We’re planning a statewide action alert to thank those who voted for it,
plus the governor after he signs it. No word yet on when that might be, but
probably soon.
Big thanks to you all for all you do to urge your members to take climate
action and keep the impact of climate on birds on their minds.
Kim
