Friend,
2020 has been quite a year. Stay in touch with the Western Values Project as we continue our work to protect our environment and public lands in 2021!
This election year, the Trump administration might have hoped no one would pay attention to their dangerous, deregulatory agenda -- but we weren’t about to stop holding them accountable. Here are some highlights of what we accomplished (thanks to supporters like you!):
| |
❑ |
We investigated the role of Trump administration officials in the distribution of COVID-19 relief funds to tribes, revealing what ABC News called a “potentially serious conflict of interest” (Read the ABC News report from May here) |
| |
❑ |
We exposed the Trump administration’s prioritization of pandemic relief for Big Oil companies over the people and small businesses who need it most (Read the Washington Post report from October here) |
| |
❑ |
We exposed Donald Trump’s land manager William Perry Pendley as an extremist with a four-decade track record of “overt racism” toward Native people (Read the Intercept’s report from August here) |
| |
❑ |
We exposed bad actors in the oil industry who were awarded PPP funding by the Trump administration's Small Business Administration (Read the Guardian report from July here) |
| |
❑ |
And we uncovered a major conservation battle -- one that somehow involved Donald Trump, Kanye West, and “a weird, western bird” (Read the Mother Jones report from August here) |
But friend, our work doesn’t end here -- with a new administration about to sweep into Washington, 2021 will bring lots of opportunities to support and protect our public lands. Follow us on social media to stay up-to-date on the work to come!
Thank you for your support!
