About Us “The
U.N. of wild horse advocacy”
The American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign is supported by a broad-based coalition of public interest groups, environmentalists, humane organizations and historical societies representing over 10 million supporters. Spearheaded by Return to Freedom in the summer of 2004 after a preliminary investigation into some of Nevada's Herd Management Areas, it was conceived as a campaign, as opposed to a new organization, specifically to allow its participants to present a united front for America’s wild horses; it is not a fundraising operation, but a unifying tool with a firm grassroots base.

The AWHPC Coalition includes: U.S. Public Interest Research Group Please also meet AWHPC supporters Wild horse advocacy is considered one of the most efficient grassroots movements in the nation. This was confirmed in 2006 by several Members of Congress polled by the Institute for a Democratic Future, who called AWHPC to congratulate wild horse advocates on their grassroots efforts. Politicians too often dismiss this issue as "emotional," simply because the American public deeply cares; this seems contrary to democratic principles. Special interest groups do not hold a monopoly over sound public policy. The American public has enough common sense to see that scientific data, ethics and fiscal responsibility all fall squarely on the side of America's wild horses.
