1 bill. Endangered polar bears.
Happy May. 🌿
From all of us“We know we’ve been asking a lot of you. We understand — we’re donors too. Every one of us on this team gives what we can, because we believe in this work just as much as you do.”
So this is our one final push: help us close out April strong and step into May with momentum — so we can spend less time fundraising and more time fighting for the animals who need us.
Because of a troubling new bill just surfacing in Congress, our matching donor has given us one more day to close the match. Every dollar you give today is doubled. We still need:
Meet H.R. 6251 — a bill working its way through Congress right now, written to help just 41 individuals import trophies from endangered polar bears they killed in Canada. Forty-one hunters. That’s the entire constituency for this legislation.
are from Wisconsin.
so they can bring home their polar bear kills. Sound familiar?
Yes — the same state where we just fought to stop the wolf hunt. The same playbook, a different animal. Polar bears are threatened under the Endangered Species Act, but H.R. 6251 would carve out a special exception in the Marine Mammal Protection Act just so these 41 people can display their trophies.
And if this passes, it opens the floodgates. Grizzlies. Lions. Every endangered species becomes the next candidate for the next trophy import carve-out. We have seen exactly how this ends when nobody pushes back. We are pushing back.
This is what your support makes possible — not a building, not lobbyists. A scrappy, all-volunteer team that shows up every single week. Just like we did when we helped stop the Wisconsin wolf hunt.
🔥 Match closes tonight. We need $212 to unlock it. Give now at speakforwildlife.org/donate — every dollar is doubled on the spot.
The fight keeps coming. And with you, we keep winning. Thank you — from all of us, to all of you.
