Dear Jack,

Every victory we’ve earned together started with dedicated supporters like you. And today, we want to show you just how powerful this community truly is.

Because of you, we’ve shut down slaughter-linked programs, stopped mass eradications, and documented every cruel roundup — every chase, every injury, every loss.

But now we face one of the most dangerous moments wild horses have seen in a generation, and Jack, their freedom can’t wait.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is preparing for the largest roundup in U.S. history — nearly 5,000 horses are being targeted in Nevada for removal.

California’s remaining herds — from Mono Lake to Devil’s Garden — are at risk of disappearing entirely.

Congress could again attempt to strip the federal slaughter ban, putting tens of thousands of horses at risk.

And the BLM's $25 Sale Program continues to funnel once-wild horses and burros into kill pens

Jack, this is what we are up against in 2026 as we enter AWHC’s 10th year — a decade defined by relentless advocacy, groundbreaking investigations, and victories earned because we refused to back down.

To meet the challenges of this milestone year, we must start from a place of strength. That’s why we’ve started our Giving Tuesday fundraiser early — to ensure we have the resources necessary to fight back against these threats to our wild herds in the new year. 

Thanks to a generous donor, every donation will be matched up to $100,000, meaning your gift will go twice as far in the fight ahead. Please help us build early momentum with an early Giving Tuesday gift:

With gratitude,

Patricia Miller
Board Chair
American Wild Horse Conservation
