Protect NOAA: Our Safety in a Climate-Changed World Depends on It
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) serves critical functions that benefit everyone in our community. I urge you to oppose any effort to dismantle NOAA, diminish its work, undermine its scientific integrity, or privatize its public data.
NOAA data helps us manage our day-to-day lives through accurate and freely available weather forecasting. NOAA experts help us predict, prepare for, and survive disasters. They strengthen our economy through farming outlooks and other high-quality data.
There is no replacement for the scientific data NOAA provides, which taxpayers like me have supported for generations. Congress must stand up for NOAA, and I urge you to lead the way in protecting our nation's premiere climate science agency.

Why is this important?
As part of the Project 2025 assault on basic and essential government functions, President Trump and Elon Musk are dismantling the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). With recent firings at NOAA announced, information that is a lifeline in a weather emergency event is at grave risk. And, the potential that they may eliminate free public access to weather forecasts, hurricane tracking, wildfire alerts, and more would not just decimate the nation's premier climate science agency, it would undermine public safety and put lives at risk.
People in the United States have invested tax dollars in NOAA for generations. It belongs to us, not the Trump administration.
Don't let President Trump and Elon Musk dismantle this life-saving agency, or require paywall access to NOAA data and make us pay again. Tell Congress to protect NOAA.
