Take Action with Audubon

Where Advocacy Takes Flight

Audubon Society of Rhode Island knows our strength is our 17,000 members. We believe that you know your community’s connection to birding and nature better than anyone. As part of our ongoing efforts to advocate on our priorities, we’d like to engage you in new and exciting ways and work together to accomplish our mission.

Upcoming Events & Opportunities:

House Committee Hearing

A hearing on RI H5704, which would ban poisons killing raptors, is scheduled. This is our best opportunity to show up and advocate!

WHERE: Rhode Island State House
WHEN: Tuesday, March 11 · 3:30 - 10 pm

RSVP

Host a House Party

Local house parties are a great way to connect with your fellow community members about issues that matter to you. During the party, we'll explore an Audubon priority issue and have attendees take action. House parties can be held anywhere in RI and we’ll provide a toolkit with everything you’ll need to throw a successful party, attend, and answer questions. Even house parties of as little as 4 people are helping to build our movement.
