CONTACT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND RESPONSIBLE OFFICES

You can help save America’s shrinking wild horse and burro populations by calling, emailing or writing your Congressional Representative and US Senators. Your votes matter. Just 10 calls or messages in one day can make difference. If you email, always ask for a response! And always be polite.

You can also appeal directly to the President and Vice President, as well as the Secretary of Interior (Bureau of Land Management) or Secretary of Agriculture (US Forest Service) directly accountable to the American public for the protection of wild horses and burros
