The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program kills over a million wild animals annually, often at the request of industrial agriculture. Using cruel traps and poisons, the program targets carnivores like coyotes, bears, and foxes, even impacting rare species such as grizzlies and wolves.

Our organization has worked for years to expose these federal wildlife-killing practices, successfully gaining protections for wildlife in several states.

Join Carnivore Conservation Director Collette Adkins and Senior Attorney Andrea Zaccardi for a presentation discussing Wildlife Services, the latest on grizzly bears, and the critical importance of state-level wolf conservation amidst potential national protection losses.

In Nevada's Thacker Pass, Indigenous tribes are battling powerful entities over a massive lithium mine by Lithium Americas. Backed by the Biden administration and General Motors, this project, vital for electric vehicles, exposes the dark side of the "green energy" transition, prioritizing profit over sacred land and local communities.

The documentary, "Thacker Pass - Mining the Sacred," by award-winning journalist Brandi Morin and filmmaker Geordie Day, chronicles the Indigenous resisters putting their freedom on the line. It was co-produced by Ricochet Media, IndigiNews, and The Real News Network.

This short video captures highlights from the 2014 American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. At the invitation of Nancy Foye-Cox and with support from Sally Gutierrez, I moderated a wisdom circle of women ASPA leaders. I also attended the keynote by Dr. Bernice Sandler, "the godmother of Title IX," and celebrated Nancy Foye-Cox receiving the Marcia P. Crowley Award for service to the Section on Women in Public Administration (SWPA).

Our shared friendship—mine, Sally's, and Nancy's—exemplifies the power of women supporting women in the workplace, challenging the notion that they do not. The video features music, *Frammenti*, by Andrea Carri.
