Environmentalists who don’t vote in federal elections? 13,824,260
Non-voting and seldom-voting wildlife advocates can register to vote and that’s up to us. As stewards of our planet and other species we share with, we find ourselves at a critical juncture. The fate of our wild friends—their families, their delicate ecosystems, and their very existence—rests in our hands. 🌿🐺
The constant political attacks on wildlife and their homes may make you feel under siege. We know just how that feels. With your help, we’ve played great defense, beating back dozens of attacks. Now it is time to hop off this merry-go-round and make our voices heard at the ballot box. That is why we are launching our VOTE WILD campaign and are reaching out to you, our activists, to join the movement!

Policies affect the wildlife we cherish. They determine whether a pristine forest remains untouched or succumbs to development. It determines whether thousands of wolves are killed by snowmobiles or dogs. Our votes are the ink that writes these policies. We will show you where to look for candidates’ records. Imagine losing 28 species or more. That is what is on the line. Will they go extinct? Will Wolf pups inherit a realm where they can thrive? Our ballots hold the answers. 🗳️🐾
