There was anxiety but also <strong>resolve<\/strong>. We are not backing down. Together we are a powerful community.

It led the fight to save the Act during the last Trump Administration. We push every administration&#8211;<strong>regardless of political party<\/strong>&#8211;to protect endangered species and the wild places that they call home. We bring more than 400 organizations and hundreds of thousands of activists like you and me together to strategize, to mobilize, to organize and to make real gains for wildlife. <strong>We know that organizing works.<\/strong> Our most influential laws would not be here without the work of grassroots organizers. <strong>When we come together, we can win.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.actblue.com\/donate\/esahope\"><strong>Please join us in the fight for wildlife.
