BUFFALO FIELD CAMPAIGN
To stop the harassment and slaughter of Yellowstone’s wild buffalo herds; protect the natural habitat of wild, free-roaming buffalo and other native wildlife; and work with all people—especially Indigenous Nations—to honor and protect the sacredness of the wild buffalo. We pursue our mission through a variety of coordinated strategies: In the field: Our volunteers conduct regular patrols to track and locate buffalo. Teams monitor buffalo movements; document herd activity with field notes, photographs, and video; and remain prepared to initiate nonviolent action as necessary to defend these magnificent animals. In a great example of BFC synergy: our field patrols also collect scientific data for use by our legal and legislative teams, biologists, and other organizations—adding another layer of value to our field campaigns. In the political/legislative arena: We support a variety of efforts to inform local, state, and federal politicians and legislators of the plight of the buffalo—and the importance of wild populations. In the courts: Our legal team fights judicial battles to defend the buffalo’s right to roam freely and live according to their natural instincts. In the public mind: In addition to providing information for educators, BFC actively promotes the needs of the buffalo through various public forums such as community meetings; information booths in and around Yellowstone; select conventions, expositions, and festivals; our annual roadshow; and more.

Men Can Stop Rape
Men Can Stop Rape (MCSR) seeks to mobilize men to use their strength for creating cultures free from violence, especially men’s violence against women. In 1997, the founders of MCSR pioneered a different way of addressing the epidemic of violence against women. Though the majority of violent acts against women are committed by men, most prevention efforts are risk-reduction and self-defense tactics directed at women. The founders wanted to shift the responsibility of deterring harm away from women by promoting healthy, nonviolent masculinity. Their vision offered a plan for prevention that outlines positive, proactive solutions for engaging men as allies and inspiring them to feel motivated to end men’s violence against women. More than a decade later, MCSR continues to successfully mobilize male youth to prevent men’s violence against women; inspire young men to create their own positive definitions of masculinity; develop healthy relationships with others; embrace the concept of personal responsibility; work in partnership with female peers; and do their part to end violence and build safe communities.

I HAVE A DREAM-OVERTOWN INC
I Have a Dream – Overtown, Inc (IHAD) serves 50 at-risk high school (11th and 12th grades) students. These children have been chosen ten years ago to be “Dreamers” by the I Have a Dream – Overtown program, which has pledged to provide financial assistance for their higher education if the “Dreamer” graduates from high school. The organization is committed to providing whatever services are needed as they complete high school (in the next two years) for the “Dreamers” and their families to help them reach their full potential. . By introducing quality prevention and promotion services, coping and management skills, college readiness techniques, and technological enhancements to these children now with constant re-enforcements and follow through, the I Have a Dream – Overtown program will be able to enhance the needed tutorial, enrichments and life skill programming it has put in place for the “Dreamers”. The ultimate goal is for every child to graduate from high school and pursue higher education. This is a longitudinal program essentially serving the same cadre of students since first grade (now in high school). The emphasis is part of an overall, long-term intervention and college scholarship program for the Dreamers.
