Carole King makes her case for the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act, a bill that would designate millions of acres in the West as wilderness and put an end to logging in these areas.
Last week, while Joe Biden and Kevin McCarthy met to discuss the debt ceiling, Carole King walked through the rain to the Capitol to make her case for the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act, a bill that would designate millions of acres in the West as wilderness and put an end to logging in these areas. “You can get members of Congress when they’re walking out,” she said of the south entrance to the Capitol.
King’s first meeting was with Josephine Amusa, the policy adviser for the Senate Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries. King took out a pamphlet. “The grizzly bear is an umbrella species, and they’re not doing well,” King said. “How many more minutes do I have?”King continued, “The Forest Service is not what people think it is. It’s arm in arm with the timber industry. The forest is under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
With a bit of downtime, King and her entourage traipsed around the Capitol. “I feel reverent,” she said. She reached out and touched a statue of Rosa Parks. Colleen Corrigan, an environmental advocate who was accompanying King, briefed her on their next meeting, with Gen Z’s first member of Congress, Maxwell Frost, a Florida Democrat: “He’s twenty-six, he was a rideshare driver, he’s big on gun control.” They took the stairs to the second floor. King removed a pair of heels from her bag.
“What’s been getting in the way?” Frost asked. “Do you need Republican support?” They talked strategy. “Maybe get a New York Republican member on board to prove themselves to that more progressive part of their constituency?” he said. Then he suggested, “Maybe just find the five biggest Carole King fans who are Republican.”
