| Yesterday, we told you about some of the great work we’ve been doing to educate Americans about the dangers facing wild horses and burros. Thanks to our Awareness Fund, we’re bringing the issue of wild horse conservation to the forefront – and we’re translating this awareness into direct action for our wild herds.
Just in the past year alone:
- We mobilized our supporters to call for an end to the Adoption Incentive Program (AIP)’s disastrous cash incentives, which are funneling wild horses and burros to slaughter, leading to over 10,000 letter submissions;
- We spearheaded a campaign resulting in over 50,000 total letter submissions calling on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to install cameras on helicopters used for roundups;
- We called on our advocates to help end the donkey skin trade in the US by asking their representatives to cosponsor the Ejiao Act, resulting in over 31,000 total letters in support of this important bill;
- We led a Day of Action in honor of National Horse Protection Day that mobilized our grassroots community in support of Rep. Dina Titus’ Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2023, which would BAN cruel and costly helicopter roundups. This day led to over 20,000 letter submissions.
This is how we make change.
Every action you take – whether it’s sending a letter, signing a petition, or sharing the story of our wild horses and burros with others – helps push us closer to the day when these magnificent animals are free from the threats of roundups, slaughter, and government mistreatment. And the more people we bring into our herd of advocates, the louder our voice will be.
That’s why it’s critical that we power our Awareness Fund to ensure that even more people learn about the plight of wild horses and burros and join us in the fight to protect them. We’ve seen the impact that awareness can have – and with over 11,000 wild horses and burros at risk of roundups next year, we need to keep pushing.
By supporting our Awareness Fund, you’re helping us reach millions of people with powerful campaigns, news stories, and actions that directly influence policy and public opinion. Every dollar fuels outreach efforts that create real change, and we simply cannot afford to slow down.
Will you contribute today to help us expand our reach and keep building the movement to protect our wild herds?
Together, we’re showing the world that America’s wild horses and burros deserve to remain free, wild, and protected on our public lands. Thank you for standing with us and for all you do to support this cause.
