America's roadless forests are some of the most intact, connected wildlife habitats left in the country. We have a chance to keep these wild forests safe — for good. Ask your legislators to cosponsor the Roadless Area Conservation Act and help save the homes of America's most vulnerable species. ⬇️

It's time to ban members of Congress from lobbying for life. I have a new bipartisan bill to get it done.
