AUDUBON ACTION FUND IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING DURABLE PUBLIC WILL FOR POLICY SOLUTIONS THAT ADDRESS THE GREATEST CONsERvATION CHALLENGES FOR BIRDS AND PEOPLE.

AUDUBON ACTION FUND, WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR ADVOCACY PARTNER, NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY, BUILDS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR COMMON-SENSE SOLUTIONS TO THE GREATEST CONSERVATION CHALLENGES FACING BIRDS, PEOPLE, AND THE PLACES WE NEED. IT INTENDS TO ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION BY MOBILIZING THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO CARE ABOUT BIRDS AND THE ENVIRONMENT TO ADVOCATE FOR CHANGE AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND NATIONAL LEVEL. ITS WORK IS GROUNDED IN AND INFORMED BY SCIENCE AND THE CORE VALUES THAT DEMAND ITS WORK ADVANCE EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. AUDUBON ACTION FUND WILL OPERATE ON THREE IMPORTANT THEORIES OF CHANGE IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION INCLUDING: (1) PUBLIC EDUCATION: EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON BIRDS AND CONSERVATION PRIORITIES. (2) LOBBYING: INFLUENCING LEGISLATION RELATING TO BIRDS AND CONSERVATION. (3) ELECTION-RELATED ACTIVITIY: EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT CANDIDATES RECORDS AND POSITIONS. AUDUBON ACTION FUND EXPANDED AND FOCUSED ITS EFFORTS IN INDIANA, FLORIDA, NORTH CAROLINA, AND SOUTH CAROLINA IN 2020. NEW DIGITAL TOOLS OPENED UP OPPORTUNITIES TO DEEPEN ENGAGEMENT WITH VOLUNTEERS AND TO ESTABLISH AN ONLINE PRESENCE THAT REACHES NEW SUPPORTERS, INCREASES THE FUNDS DONOR BASE, AND SUSTAINS MEMBERSHIP GROWTH AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WELL INTO THE FUTURE. IN FLORIDA, AUDUBON ACTION FUND HAS FOSTERED COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND IMPLEMENT CLIMATE ADAPTATION STRATEGIES THROUGH REGIONAL COMPACTS, AND HELPED SECURE EXTENSION OF THE oil-drilling MORATORIUM IN THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. CLIMATE ADVOCATES ARE BEING TRAINED ACROSS THE STATE, AND A SERIES OF EVENTS AND ENGAGEMENTS WITH POLICYMAKERS IS UNDERWAY. MOST RECENTLY, AUDUBON ACTION FUND HOSTED AND MODERATED A PANEL DISCUSSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE ISSUES. AUDUBON ACTION FUND CONTINUED TO GAIN TRACTION IN INDIANA IN 2020 WORKING ON THE roll-out OF THE GROWING CLIMATE SOLUTIONS ACT, SPONSORED BY A BI-PARTISAN GROUP OF SENATORS. AUDUBON ACTION FUND WORKED TO FOSTER NEW SUPPORT FOR NATURAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT WILL PROTECT, ENHANCE, AND RESTORE MORE THAN HALF A MILLION ACRES OF IMPORTANT HABITATS FOR BIRDS AND INCREASE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE IN THE STATE. AUDUBON ACTION FUND SUPPORTED 'get-out-the-vote' EFFORTS WITH CLIMATE-SPECIFIC OUTREACH IN NORTH CAROLINA. AUDUBON ACTION FUND LAUNCHED A PILOT CAMPAIGN WITH FOUR MAIN GOALS: 1) ACQUIRE NEW NAMES FOR AUDUBON ACTION FUND; 2) PROVIDE NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY MEMBERS WITH AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO VOLUNTEER; 3) ENGAGE VOTERS OTHER THAN NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETYS MEMBERSHIP; AND 4) TEST THE EFFICACY OF PEER-TO-PEER TEXTING AS A TOOL FOR AUDUBON ACTION FUNDS CAMPAIGNS. THE SUCCESSFUL PILOT CONTACTED 48,391 VOTERS IN NORTH CAROLINA, DOUBLING EXPECTATIONS, AND 80 PERCENT OF ITS PARTICIPANTS REPORTED HAVING AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE. SOUTH CAROLINA CONTINUES TO BE AN IMPORTANT PILOT STATE FOR CAMPAIGNS MOVING ELECTED OFFICIALS TOWARD CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE POLICY. AUDUBON ACTION FUND WORKED TO ADVANCE A CLEARLY DEFINED CLIMATE AGENDA THAT INCLUDED RENEWAL OF THE STATES CONSERVATION BANK, SOLAR EXPANSION LEGISLATION, AND CLIMATE RESILIENCY LEGISLATION. LAST FALL, THE STATE LEGISLATURE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED A COMPREHENSIVE RESILIENCY BILL. AHEAD OF THE JUNE 2020 PRIMARIES, AUDUBON ACTION FUND PROVIDED POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT FOR TWO STATE LEGISLATORS WHO SUPPORTED AUDUBON PRIORITIES.
