This is the week.
Last week, we released our white paper exposing how political operatives and trophy hunting lobbyists hijacked Wisconsin’s wolf policy—and 218 wolves paid the price in 72 hours. Read it here if you missed it.
Now the fight continues on two fronts:
Monday, the House Rules Committee holds a critical hearing on HR 845—the bill to strip federal protections from gray wolves and block courts from intervening.
Friday, our matching gift deadline expires.
Right now, our white paper is spreading—and people are finally seeing what we’ve been fighting.
I need you to do two things this week.
ACTION #1: Call your representative BEFORE Monday.
The House Rules Committee hearing on HR 845 is Monday at 3:00 PM ET. We’ve rallied an incredible coalition—businesses, the faith community, even Republican voices—all calling on Congress to reject this bill. But we need more calls flooding in before that hearing.

Here’s what makes us different:
We’re not afraid to take on the DNR. We’re not afraid to go to court. We don’t compromise when it comes to cruelty—and we don’t stay silent when others do.
We helped stop the last wolf hunt. We’ll do it again.
ACTION #2: Make your gift count DOUBLE before Friday.
A generous supporter believes in this work so much that they’re matching every dollar donated—up to our goal. We’re $4,800 away.
Your $50 becomes $100. Your $100 becomes $200. But only until Friday.
You’re not just a donor. You’re a co-investigator.
Your donation doesn’t just help wolves—it funds the research they hope no one will do.
That white paper took months. Public records requests. Cross-referencing lobbyist filings. Sworn affidavits from rural Wisconsinites who witnessed the chaos of February 2021 firsthand. We have more investigations ready to go—including a podcast exposé that will turn stomachs.
That work doesn’t happen without you.
📅 MONDAY: House Rules Committee hearing on HR 845

This is the week we’ve been building toward. Call your rep. Give what you can. Be part of this.
For the wild,

Executive Director, Great Lakes Wildlife Alliance
P.S. Already donated? Already called? Forward this to one person who cares about wolves. Sometimes that share is the thing that tips the scale.
