Hello, Jack!

As you know, America’s wild horses and burros are under constant threat of brutal helicopter roundups and loss of their freedom on public lands. But the American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) is making meaningful progress in Washington D.C. to secure a brighter future for these iconic animals. Your contributions to our Policy and Litigation Fund are driving real change and helping us fight for the protections they deserve. 

We’ve set an ambitious $200,000 end-of-year goal to fund our efforts in 2025. Thanks to a generous $100,000 matching gift, every dollar you give will go twice as far to power our fight for these iconic animals.

DOUBLE YOUR GIFT

Here are a few examples of transformative legislation AWHC has worked to advance in 2024: 

  • Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act: AWHC is driving support for this bill, which would end the inhumane use of helicopters in roundups. Already, over 20,000+ letters have been sent to Congress thanks to our grassroots efforts.
     
  • SAFE Act: This critical bill would permanently ban horse slaughter plants in the U.S. and prohibit the transport of American horses to slaughterhouses abroad.
     
  • Ejiao Act: By stopping the U.S. import and sale of ejiao, a gelatin made from donkey hides, this legislation would make a significant impact on the global donkey skin trade.
POWER OUR POLICY AND LITIGATION WORK

We work tirelessly to build bipartisan support in Congress that protects America’s wild horses and burros. Through this intentional coalition-building and strategic advocacy, we’ve achieved meaningful victories for America’s wild herds. 

One notable success is securing language in both the House and Senate's Fiscal Year 2024 spending bills that advances humane fertility control programs and directs up to $11 million in federal funding away from inhumane roundups.

As you can see, Jack, our government relations work is critical, but it takes significant resources to keep our momentum up. With 2025 shaping up to be a pivotal year — and with the BLM planning to round up more than 11,000 wild horses and burros — we need your support now more than ever. 

Will you help us reach our $200,000 goal by midnight on December 31?

Your contribution to our Policy and Litigation Fund supports:
