Wild Mustang/Burro Campaigns

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: As spring unfolds across the West, wild mares are welcoming new foals into the world. And for the next few months, these precious new lives are safe from helicopter roundups as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) pauses its operations for the foaling season. But while the roundups may be paused, the crisis facing wild horses and burros is far from over. More wild horses are warehoused in government holding pens than remain free in the wild. These facilities are overcrowded, inhumane, and costly to taxpayers. Post-roundup trauma leaves captured horses and burros in danger of deadly diseases, mistreatment at the hands of federal contractors, and even euthanasia. HELP US KEEP FIGHTING FOR WILD HERDS Our work doesn’t stop just because the helicopters are grounded. Whether we’re in the field, in the courtroom, or on Capitol Hill, we’re fighting every day to protect wild horses free and in the wild, where they belong. But we can’t do this work without your help. A monthly donation—$5, $10, $15, or any amount you can afford—provides us with the steady support we need to challenge inhumane government policies, expand humane fertility control programs, and push for real conservation solutions. Will you commit to a recurring donation today to help us fight for wild horses and burros year-round? BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR TODAY Thank you for standing with us.

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: As we celebrate International Women’s Day, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible women who power American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC). I’m honored to lead this organization alongside an amazing team of passionate, dedicated women — including our wonderful board chair Patricia Miller and our founding president Ellie Phipps-Price. Our team also includes nine other trailblazers who work hard every day to preserve and protect America’s wild horses and burros. From the policy table to the open range, we are leading the charge, fighting every day to ensure these iconic animals remain wild and free. Women have always played a critical role in the movement to protect wild horses, with Wild Horse Annie leading the charge over 50 years ago. Today, I invite you to stand with us. Let’s come together to show our appreciation for the incredible women leading the fight for wild horses. Add your name to our special thank-you card to let them know how much their dedication means to you! Sign the Card Together, we are unstoppable.

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: We’re excited to share that our National Horse Protection Day petition to #HaltTheHelicopters and demand humane solutions for wild horse and burro management reached over 58,000 signatures!  We rallied together and made our voices loud and clear: The inhumane treatment of wild horses and burros by the federal government must end. You are part of a powerful movement demanding reform, and together, we are making sure the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) hears us. Make no mistake, Meredith, public pressure like this fuels real change. In fact, we’re already seeing it work. Just this week, a federal court overturned the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) disastrous Adoption Incentive Program, which was funneling wild horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline. This ruling is proof that when we stand together and demand accountability, we can make a real difference for America’s wild herds. Every action taken for wild horses — whether signing a petition, speaking out, or simply staying informed — helps push this movement forward. We’re so grateful to have you with us as we continue fighting for humane solutions. Thank you for being part of this movement. More work lies ahead, but today, we celebrate what we’ve accomplished together—and we’ll keep the momentum going for the wild horses and burros who need us. Onward! American Wild Horse Conservation P.S. If you didn’t get a chance to sign the petition, it’s not too late to add your name and speak up for our wild herds! Sign here. ...

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: Over the past decade, the struggle of wild horses has gained increasing public attention—in part thanks to American Wild Horse Conservation’s (AWHC) commitment to raising awareness about these iconic animals.   Our Awareness Fund has been pivotal to this growing success. Over the last few years, and with the support of wild horse champions like you, this Fund has empowered us to bring the issue of wild horse and burro protection into the mainstream by deploying billboards, digital ads, TV commercials, and traditional media hits. If we’ve learned one thing as an organization, it’s that once people become aware of the plight of wild horses and burros, they are upset and motivated to take action to protect them. That’s why this year, we’re gearing up for major awareness efforts to reach millions of Americans. Can you chip in today to power our Awareness Fund and help support our ongoing awareness work? POWER OUR AWARENESS FUND We know that when people see the heartbreaking reality of wild horse roundups — the terrified herds chased by helicopters, the young foals struggling to keep up, and the families torn apart — they can’t look away. That’s why raising awareness is one of the most powerful tools we have in this fight. The more people who understand what’s happening on our public lands, the stronger our movement grows. Please, Meredith, chip in to our Awareness Fund today and help us show the world the reality of wild horse roundups! POWER OUR AWARENESS FUND Thank you, Team AWHC ...
