Jack — we wanted to make sure you received our email from over the weekend.
The Senate Subcommittee hearing on S. 1377 is tomorrow morning at 10AM ET, which gives us a very short window to build public support for protecting the historic Theodore Roosevelt wild horses.
If you can, please take a moment today to read the alert below and add your voice. These final 24 hours are critical.
Thank you so much for your support,

Jack, the wild horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park urgently need your voice.
The Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee’s Subcommittee on National Parks will soon hold a hearing on S. 1377 — legislation that will determine whether this iconic herd survives or disappears forever.
When a young Theodore Roosevelt arrived in the Dakota Territory in 1883, he found more than rugged badlands — he found wild horses.
These untamed symbols of the American West that would shape his entire conservation legacy.
In fact, Roosevelt credited his time among these landscapes and horses with forming the conservation ethic that defined his presidency and protected millions of acres of public land for all Americans.
Today, these same horses face an uncertain future. Federal management decisions threaten to reduce or eliminate the herd entirely — erasing a living piece of the heritage that inspired one of our greatest conservation presidents.
Thanks to the advocacy by our partners at Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates, S. 1377 would award these incredible animals with the federal protections they deserve. Now the subcommittee needs to hear from you.
Jack: Will you contact your senators and ask them to urge the Senate Subcommittee on National Parks to vote YES on S. 1377?
Future generations deserve to experience the same wild horses that moved Theodore Roosevelt more than a century ago. This hearing is our chance to make that possible.
Thank you for taking action,
Team AWHC
