We Are What Grassroots Power Looks Like We are Audubon. We live in hundreds of communities, spanning borders and boundaries. We are conservationists, scientists, advocates, bird lovers. We understand that localized victories add up to hemispheric impacts. We know that lasting change doesn’t need a champion, it needs thousands of them. We are what grassroots power looks like.

Through our nature centers, our local outreach, and our newly formed cohort of field organiz- ers, we work directly with communities, listening to their needs while collabora- tively addressing the issues that we jointly face. From finding bipartisan solutions to issues tied to climate change, to urban habitat and schoolyard restoration with bird-friendly plants, to crafting sustainable water policy across an increasingly arid landscape, Audubon leverages and elevates community strength and resilience as a key compo- nent of our work. Audubon’s field organizers work on the ground in 10 states to coordinate advocacy for regional climate solutions. 2 | AUDUBON ANNUAL REPORT 2017 AUDUBON ANNUAL REPORT 2017 | 3 ¤ We Are Audubon We Are Staff from Audubon Texas Habitat survey an island in Galveston Bay for storm damage after Pr otectors landfall of Hurricane Harvey. WHAT IS LANDSCAPE-LEVEL conservation? It means protecting and restoring natural systems across a variety of land-use types. It’s not just one river or one wetland or one patch of prairie—that approach will never be enough to protect the places that birds need to live, forage, and raise their young. Instead, Audubon looks at the entire regional landscape to find the leverage points where conservation action will be most effective at creating lasting, sustainable change. We’re tackling the factors that affect the water flows in the Colorado River basin and across the West. We’re analyzing America’s coasts to see where best to rebuild green infrastructure to help communities weather major storms and sea-level rise. And we’re seeding the entire U.S. with the native plants that support birds throughout their lives. 4 | AUDUBON ANNUAL REPORT 2017 AUDUBON ANNUAL REPORT 2017 | 5 ¤ We Are Audubon We Are Ap Guided by Pevek pr S D ox t .

  • Presidential Candidates in 2016 Should Not Underestimate the Power of Urban Identity—It Allowed Obama to Halve Bush’S Urban Victories
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2015/03/19/presidential-candidates-in-2016-should-not-underestimate-the-power-of-urban-identity- it-allowed-obama-to-halve-bushs-urban-victories/ Presidential candidates in 2016 should not underestimate the power of urban identity—it allowed Obama to halve Bush’s urban victories In 2008, Barack Obama was elected as America’s first urban president, with large victories in the biggest urban centers. What lessons should 2016’s potential candidates be taking from these victories? In new research which examines election results in 92 ‘core’ counties – which accounted for 35 million votes in 2012 – Joshua D. Ambrosius finds that President Obama identified with urban voters in the way that Republicans could not. He argues that this is not likely to change in the near future, as the urban electorate is identifying less and less with the Republican Party, which is doing little to claim cities as their own. Bill Clinton claimed the presidency in 1992 with his famous campaign mantra, it’s “the economy, stupid.” No doubt the Republicans and Mitt Romney believed that the weak economy was their ticket to unseating the nation’s first urban president in November of 2012. We all know how that turned out. Despite the conventional wisdom at the time, identity trumped the economy in 2012 in the nation’s largest urban centers; and it was the strength of this urban advantage that helped carry President Barack Obama—the nation’s first urban president—to an easy Electoral College victory and an eked-out popular vote.

By looking at things such as the food, décor, and dancing at these balls, historians could arrive at an understanding of how the Four Hundred wanted to be perceived by others as well as the various types of capital these elites exhibited to assert their claim as the leaders of upper-class New York. In addition, in the process of advancing their claims as the rightful leaders of Society, the New York Four Hundred transformed elite identity as well as upper-class masculinity to include competitiveness and even fitness and vigorousness, traits that once applied more exclusively to white middle-class masculinity.

Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's ANNOUNCEMENTS representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, ENDORSEMENTS among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security ADS Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts ARCHIVE that pose great harm to Americans, especially women. Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to NOVEMBER 2016 anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and OCTOBER 2016 why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of SEPTEMBER 2016 horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.

    MarylandInfluencers f there was one place where the Democratic Party could take sol- ace on Election Day 2010, it was Maryland, a rock that broke part Iof the red tide sweeping the country. In a year where Republi- cans hoped to make gains across the board, Democrats proved their dominance in the biggest races, holding the governor’s mansion in a landslide, losing just a handful of seats in the state House of Delegates, and actually gaining ground in the state Senate. Any doubts about how deep blue Maryland is—particularly within the state’s heavily populated central corridor—were surely dissipated. Yet the next few years will be pivotal for both parties. Age and term limits are taking their toll on veteran officeholders, opening up op- portunities for ambitious Republicans and Democrats alike to make their mark. The blood sport of redistricting will play out as well.
