⚠️ URGENT ACTION REQUIRED ⚠️
NRB Testimony Sign-Up Deadline: TOMORROW — February 18 at 11 AM
“There is no mercy in a hound’s jaw.
There is no sportsmanship in a chase.
There is only suffering — and our silence.”
📣 Straight from Melissa’s Desk
We need you. Right now. Today.
The Natural Resources Board meets February 25th — and what’s on the table is Rob Bohmann’s resolution to allow trained hounds to chase wolves and bobcats, and a proposal to allow night hunting of bobcats.
You don’t have to leave your home. You don’t have to miss work. Three minutes. From the comfort of your couch. That’s all it takes to stand between these animals and what’s coming for them.
I testified. And it felt good. Because that is how we speak for wildlife.
“They do not lobby. They do not donate. They do not vote.
They only exist — and that should be enough.”
🐺 Great Lakes Wildlife Alliance — The Advocates’ Advocate
You don’t have to do this alone. We are here to walk you through every step. We’ll tell you exactly what to say, how to say it, and how to make your three minutes count. We are the advocates’ advocate.
Don’t believe us? Here’s what one of our advocates had to say:
“I was nervous. I had never testified before and had no idea where to start. Great Lakes Wildlife Alliance held my hand through the whole process — they helped me understand the issue, craft what I wanted to say, and gave me the confidence to show up. I testified in three minutes from my living room. Three minutes. And when it was over I felt like I had actually done something real. Something that mattered. GLWA makes advocacy accessible for regular people like me. They are the real deal — no politics, no compromise, just fighting for wildlife with everything they have.”
— Stephanie F., GLWA Advocate
