ESA Champions Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the results of the recent elections, our endangered wildlife needs champions more than ever before. Wolves, monarchs, grizzlies, and the plants, fish, and wildlife we share space with need champions who will fight to secure biodiversity for future generations and protect so many different species that we and our communities hold dear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, you don\u2019t have to work in a non-profit, have a degree in something environmental, or be an elected official to be an Endangered Species Act Champion. To ensure protections like the Endangered Species Act are upheld during this critical time, we need everyday folks to embrace being an \u201cESA Champion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the ESA is facing its first hurdle on February 26th.<\/strong> In a hearing on our national wildlife laws, Members of Congress will argue for overturning the ESA, spewing lies and disinformation. If we don\u2019t show strong public support for the ESA during this initial challenge, that could spell disaster for our beloved wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This training will prepare you to call your legislators and mobilize your friends to ensure that those in Congress know we want the ESA properly defended ahead of these hearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RSVP to join the first virtual meeting to learn how you can protect endangered species.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why at Endangered Species Coalition, we\u2019re excited to share that we\u2019ll be launching a virtual call series<\/a><\/strong> in which we\u2019ll train anyone who\u2019s interested in the skills necessary to defend the Endangered Species Act and endangered species across the country. The first of these calls will take place on February 18th at 7:00 PM ET<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and is designed to be accessible and most importantly, to give you and other wildlife advocates a chance to share a space centered around action. Those who plan to attend should come ready to participate actively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your interest and please email me at dalton@endangered.org with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
