ACTION ITEM | SIGN THIS PETITION
FIGHT EXTINCTION, NOT STAFF.
CEO and President Jamie Clark has long perpetuated a "culture of fear" among staff at Defenders of Wildlife. Instead of bargaining with the union in good faith, Clark and her leadership team have committed multiple violations of labor law, including illegally firing a union organizer. The National Labor Relations Board General Counsel determined Defenders of Wildlife guilty of 4 unfair labor practice charges, including illegally firing a union organizer.
This is not how a progressive, environmental non-profit should act. Sign our petition to demand that Jamie Clark negotiate a fair contract with our union or resign as CEO of Defenders of Wildlife.

Earth To defenders:
support your staff to save wildlife
Happy Earth Day, friends! Today, inboxes all around the U.S. are filling up with urgent messages from Defenders of Wildlife, urging supporters to put themselves in the place of our imperiled polar bears, orcas, and other precious species in need of protection. We know, because we wrote them! But we wish we could have sent one more, to tell you about another endangered species – environmental workers.
