The so-called Fix Our Forests Act is just a forest destruction bill in disguise. This bill will worsen wildfires and undermine protections for our forests and endangered species.
YOUR Senator will be asked to vote on a bill that would undermine forest and endangered species protections, harm communities’ drinking water, worsen deadly wildfires and make climate change worse.
In January, Representatives Bruce Westerman and Scott Peters reintroduced H.R. 471, the so-called Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA). This bill would roll back critical environmental laws, such as the National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Historic Preservation Act. The Senate is now considering this damaging legislation.
Despite its name and supposed attempt to mitigate wildfire risk, the bill is nothing more than more corporate give aways that weaken environmental protections, expose our forests to clear-cut logging, stifles the public’s voice, and will make climate change even worse. On top of that it diverts resources that could be used for wildfire defense away from the communities that need them the most.
We need your help to defeat this legislation. Contact your Senators and tell them to oppose the Fix Our Forests Act.
