Join Buffalo Allies of Bozeman for a discussion and presentation on ways residents in the Gallatin Valley can help Yellowstone's buffalo.

The event is at the Bozeman Public Library (E. Main Street) at 6:30PM, Monday, June 30 and will feature state representative Mike Phillips and other presenters who will be discussing the various advocacy tools available to this region's supporters of wild buffalo.

Besides moving through legislation - for instance, Phillips will be talking about the bill to be put forward by the Gallatin Wildlife Association that would respect bison as wildlife in Montana - we will be talking about myriad other ways that residents here can participate directly in making change.

Those changes include working and directly supporting other groups - like Buffalo Field Campaign. We'll talk about how easy it is to volunteer and support their work. They include online and media advocacy - how to use press releases, listserves and Web sites to organize people and reach out. It includes public outreach and community building. In other words, this is as much a workshop on grassroots organizing for any issue as it is for the buffalo, though buffalo is clearly our particular focus.

What this is not. This is not a forum on why you should care about this issue; we will have plenty of information on that , and this would be a great opportunity before or after to find out more. However, this is for those of you who have said to yourself that Montana and Yellowstone shouldn't be killing buffalo, that we should treat buffalo like we do other wildlife, but have no idea how you could be helpful.

For any questions about this discussion, please contact Jim Macdonald at jsmacdonald@riseup.net.
