Congress may soon grant any president the power to kill nonprofits not aligned with their agenda. Urge your officials to stop it
The first four months since extremists took over Congress and the presidency have brought nonstop, coordinated attempts to rip power from any organization, agency, or individual that opposes their agenda. Now, the budget resolution package before Congress contains similar language from bills (H.R. 9495 and 6408) granting the Executive Branch the authority to designate any nonprofit or church as a “terrorist-supporting organization,” without providing evidence, and cut their tax-exempt status without due process. A removal of nonprofit status would force most organizations to shut down.
Petition: Ensure the Lake Whatcom Forest Management Plan works for multiple benefits
Since the majority of Lake Whatcom’s watershed is (or was) forested, the decisions we make around managing forests add up quickly across the whole landscape — setting the path for how well equipped we are as a community to weather the changing conditions ahead. Sign our petition to Whatcom County and Bellingham officials to show your support for an ecologically aligned, climate-smart approach to managing one of our most important watersheds.
HAVING YOUR VOICE HEARD IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE, MADE EASY! SIGN UP FOR LEGISLATIVE UPDATES
About once per week during the legislative session each year (January through April), we send out a quick email update what’s happening with key environmental bills, plus quick actions you can take to push urgent policies make it across the finish line. State laws can make a big difference in your community, while also setting examples for more states to follow. With federal threats to the climate and clean water from the Trump administration, state action matters even more. The list is currently dormant until 2026, but you can still sign up!
Solidarity Action: Call for a Coast Salish Longhouse at Xwotqwem (Whatcom Creek)
Ecological and cultural healing in the central Salish Sea region are intertwined. Support the call by Lummi leaders with Whiteswan Environmental to revive a Coast Salish longhouse at Xwotqwem (Whatcom Creek). This longhouse will create and provide culturally safe places for Indigenous communities to heal the Native and non-Native divide, and to teach history, culture, governance, and language to the next generations.
Attend a beach cleanup
To combat plastic pollution in the Salish Sea, RE Sources regularly hosts beach cleanups — as well as cleanups along rivers and lakes — throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties, providing cleanup equipment and a place to connect with like-minded community members.
