BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed the FY26 spending bill.
Urge your senators to do the same:

Jack,

Last month, we reached out to you with urgent emails asking you to speak up as Congress finalized the FY26 Interior Appropriations process — and today, we’re excited to be able to share an important step forward made possible by your sustained public advocacy.

After months of public pressure, the U.S. House has voted to advance FY26 Interior Appropriations language that includes critical funding and protections for America’s wild horses and burros. 

Your support helped move the needle, Jack — here’s what the House’s bill includes:

• Clear expectations from Congress that investment in humane, science-based solutions will increase;
• Up to $11 million of the overall Wild Horse and Burro budget specifically designated towards immunocontraceptive (fertility control) vaccines and away from dangerous permanent sterilization procedures;
• And a ban on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from euthanizing healthy wild horses and burros.

This House vote represents meaningful progress — but this is not the finish line.

The Senate has not yet voted and these protections are not guaranteed unless the Senate hears strong, continued pressure from constituents.

The Senate could vote as soon as Monday on the approved House bill. That makes these final hours critical, Jack. Will you tell your Senators to ensure these critical protections for wild horses are included in the final FY26 package?

Thank you for taking action, adding your voice, and standing with us during this critical moment in the FY26 process.
