Congress Heads Home: Time To Advocate For Your Refuge

Congress Heads Home: Time To Advocate For Your Refuge

As August approaches, so does a key opportunity for Friends groups across the country to make a big impact. On August 2, Congress will begin its annual summer recess—a four-week period when lawmakers return to their home districts. This is a golden opportunity for you to engage with your elected officials directly in their local offices or, better yet, at your national wildlife refuge.
