Hi John,

I hope you're taking some time to breathe deeply and enjoy a rare, precious sense of relief.

The election of Joe Biden is a testament to the power of people to speak up and take their country back from a destructive, racist and misogynist president — one who put polluters and profits far before people, wildlife and the planet.

We're heartened by this outcome and deeply grateful to each one of you who cast a ballot to evict Donald Trump from the White House. It's time for this national nightmare to end and a new day to dawn.

To be sure, we won't agree with everything the Biden administration does. Indeed, from his first day in office, we'll be working fiercely to push him to tackle the climate emergency, address the wildlife extinction crisis, repeal Trump’s death sentence on gray wolves, and reverse the disastrous Trump rollbacks that are tearing apart our public lands and polluting our air and water.

Those fights will come, and we'll be ready.

But today we know our democracy is safer and our country is on a finer trajectory — a higher road, at last.

The past four years have been tormenting and exhausting. I'm deeply appreciative that you've stood beside us the whole time — and that we've even celebrated a few key victories along the way.

Some things won't change — we'll keep waking up every day to fight for a future where the wild is still alive. We won't stop filing lawsuits to keep pollution and poisons out of our air, our water and our children's bodies. We won't stop fighting for the far-reaching change that's needed to save our climate.

And we'll never stop speaking up for the survival of all species, great and small.

We're ready for what's next — and as always, are grateful to have you by our side.

For the wild,

Kierán Suckling
