Jack,
Your unwavering support for the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) is the powerhouse behind our work and will help set the stage for our ambitious 2024 agenda. We are committed to upholding America’s promise of freedom for wild horses and burros. And we’re doing just that through our work in the field, in the courts, and on Capitol Hill.
Today, we wanted to share with you how pivotal each donated dollar is to sustaining our lifesaving programs. But first, can we count on you to contribute and help us achieve our $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal? Act now and every donation before midnight will be matched, doubling your impact!
Jack, every dollar you donate to the American Wild Horse Campaign is a catalyst for change in our work:
1. In-the-Wild Conservation: Not only does AWHC operate the world’s largest humane fertility control vaccine program for wild horses on Nevada’s Virginia Range, but this year we’ve taken steps to expand fertility control programs to other herds throughout the West. We’ve also recently acquired 3,300+ acres of prime habitat in Nevada’s beautiful Carson Valley to serve as a pilot program for our new Land Conservancy Project – an innovative program that aims to preserve and enhance habitat for America's wild herds.
2. Government Relations: Your contributions drive our advocacy for wild-horse-friendly legislation, such as the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2023, which would end cruel helicopter roundups, the Save America's Forgotten Equines Act, which would finally ban the slaughter and export of equines for human consumption, and the Ejiao Act, which would help protect the global donkey population from slaughter.
3. Investigations: With your help, we bring to light the reality of wild horse and burro roundups, expose holding facility conditions, and unveil the truth behind the Adoption Incentive Program, which is funneling hundreds, if not thousands, of mustangs and burros into the slaughter pipeline.
4. Rescue: Your generosity enables us to support the direct rescue of wild horses and burros at risk of slaughter. We grant funds to our partner organizations, including for veterinary care and transport for horses and burros after they are rescued.
5. Advocacy: We are bringing the issue of wild horse and burro protection into the mainstream by launching national awareness campaigns through the placement of billboards – including one in New York City’s Times Square through the holiday season – and through television and digital media ads, our celebrity ambassador program, and traditional media.
6. And so much more.
None of this would be possible without supporters like you, Jack. You make this work a reality – and thanks to an incredible matching opportunity provided by one of our major donors, you have an opportunity to DOUBLE the impact we can make for wild horses and burros in all these different areas. Will you make a contribution before midnight and help us reach our $100,000 Giving Tuesday goal?
Thank you, Jack.
The American Wild Horse Campaign
