Grizzlies in the Crosshairs: A Call to Action
Thursday, September 25 at noon MDT
Click here to register Congress has grizzly bears in its crosshairs and we are stepping up the fight to keep Endangered Species Act protections in place and prevent anti-wildlife lawmakers from "delisting" the Great Bear.
Join us to learn the latest details about these legislative threats, key lawmakers who could make a difference, and the advocate resources available to keep grizzly bears protected. We will be presenting materials including our latest action alerts, a guide for writing letters-to-the editor, sample social media posts, and core messages to effectively refute the disinformation being spread by hostile lawmakers and government agencies.
The webinar is sponsored by Wilderness Watch, WildEarth Guardians, Western Watersheds Project, Yaak Valley Forest Council, and the Sierra Club.
Wilderness Watch’s Brett Haverstick will be moderating this action-focused webinar. Presenters include: Bradley Williams, Deputy Legislative Director, Wildlife and Lands, Sierra Club
Bradley is one of the Sierra Club's top D.C. lobbyists fighting for wildlife and public lands. He will talk about the latest developments in Congress to strip current grizzly bears protections under the Endangered Species Act. This includes appropriation bill "riders" and the Grizzly Bear State Management Act of 2025 (H.R. 281 and S. 316).
Blake Nicolazzo, Founder & Managing Director, Bonfire Brands
Blake’s company, Bonfire Brands, specializes in brand strategy and helping businesses succeed, and she brings those skills to her tireless efforts protecting grizzly bears. Blake knows that when we speak up to protect grizzly bears, the words we choose matter. Blake will explain how adopting a shared "playbook" of key phrases can amplify our collective voice and make advocacy for grizzlies more powerful and effective.
Grace Kuhn, Digital Director, Western Watersheds Project
Grace specializes in developing digital resources such as the BearsBelong.com site, creating videos and graphics, and helping elevate grizzly bear protection through social media. She will showcase social media resources and explain how best to use these tools on Instagram, Facebook, and other social media sites. We hope you can join us on Thursday, September 25 at noon MDT, so please register today! |
