Been working on hiking all 48 4k footers in New Hampshire recently, so today I decided to summit Mt Hancock. The Whites are always good for boreal birds but today I was absolutely dumbstruck when I rounded a corner and saw my first ever Spruce Grouse standing in the trail!

![[TIME SENSITIVE] Act Now: Ask Your Senator to Support Amendment #6 to the PROTECT Act
68 actions taken
32 needed to reach next goal
Dear Advocates,
Please take action today and urge your State Senator to support amendment #6 to the PROTECT Act, which the Senate will be voting on this Thursday. This is a crucial bill that aims to protect immigrants through a variety of means, including by restricting civil arrests in state courts, child care facilities, public schools, houses of worship, and health care providers.
The Arc has worked closely with Senator Robyn Kennedy to file amendment #6, to include disability programs as “sensitive spaces” where ICE is unable to access without a warrant.
By including DDS-licensed facilities and Day Habilitation programs in the list of places where civil arrests are restricted, we can add a layer of protection for this key workforce and prevent destabilizing enforcement actions that would adversely impact individuals with IDD and autism.
Please reach out to your State Senator before Thursday to urge them to support this amendment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u6ajzyiqzkzbppp2x2y7fpfu/bafkreidkvbn5vs5rbtx3fjf6quwcyi52ehw45b7hjqvtearvbaprhbzmwy)
