Overview
The New Venture Fund would use this grant to create a new West-wide communications program that would build strong relationships with reporters, draw from the best polling to craft persuasive messages, rapidly respond to attacks on public land protections, generate news on a steady basis and enlist a broad array of Westerners as spokespeople. This new project would fill a gap in the capacities of existing environmental NGOs focused on western conservation.

for support of The League

Using audience segmentation and other research, they identify “persuadable” groups with targeted campaigns designed to shift perspectives and support of issues related to gender justice, including reproductive rights.
