Yesterday evening, I had the opportunity to watch The Right Whale: Tales of Resilience and Hope at a local screening.
I knew very little about the North Atlantic right whale before I walked into that room.
I left deeply moved.
This morning, I had a good cry thinking about what I learned. And then I made a phone call.
Because these magnificent animals need more than our sadness. They need our voices.
There are so few North Atlantic right whales left, and none of them die of old age. They face threats from ship strikes and entanglement in commercial fishing gear, and right now we can do something.
It took me less than two minutes to call my Representative this morning.
I created this carousel to make it just as easy for you.
Swipe through, and you’ll find the phone number and even the words you can use. You don’t have to be an expert. You simply have to care enough to speak up.
A heartfelt thank you to Cheryl and Nick Dean Nick Dean for creating The Right Whale: Tales of Resilience and Hope and for using your work to give these whales a voice.
And thank you to the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center Florida Oceanographic Society for hosting yesterday’s screening and conversation. I’m so grateful I was there.
🐋 If this touches your heart too, please make the call today.
And then share this post so someone else might make one too.
They can’t call Congress.
But we can.
