As Congress looks to a fast-approaching deadline to pass its fiscal year 2025 (FY25) budget by the end of this week, we see giant red warning signs flashing around us. We have until Friday, March 14 to take action and urge members to ensure the health of our ocean and planet are not sacrificed in this budget cycle.
Right now, some members of Congress have proposed dangerous anti-environment provisions and cuts in the FY25 budget. We cannot let our elected leaders prioritize power over our planet and undermine conservation efforts while ignoring the biodiversity, climate and plastic-pollution crises that are already here. And we must ensure Congress comes together to avoid a government shutdown.
Join Ocean Conservancy in speaking out NOW before the March 14 deadline.
