..."According to a statement from Andrew Schepers, president of the Seattle Audubon Society's board of directors, the name is not what the organization stands for. It's about birds.
“We are here for the birds, for the people, and for nature, not to defend a harmful legacy. We’ve got too much good work to do to let this continue to stand in our way. Our organization has a bold history of over a century of activism and impactful conservation. Our work will require all hands and voices to more fully serve our communities today and into the future. Complacency towards antiracism is not an option if we are to fulfill our mission.”
