We are Rachel's Network.

Since 2017, our funding has strengthened a national coalition of organizations to fight border construction; educated the public and members of Congress on the wasteful and harmful effects of the border wall on the environment, wildlife, and border communities; and defended low-income landowners at the border in court. It has also garnered us accolades from philanthropy outlets, as this area of funding is small and our investment has been strategic. Please join us to hear an update from coalition leads Laiken Jordahl of the Center for Biological Diversity and Dan Millis of the Sierra Club about where border wall funding and construction stands, as well as upcoming funding opportunities to make the greatest impact.

This webinar is open to members of Rachel’s Network. Please RSVP to Ariana Carella to participate.
