Ideas for inclusive conservation podcasts - Pattie Gonia

The podcast team should book queer conservationist Pattie Gonia to discuss conservation and outdoor inclusivity topics. Organizations like Audobon Society and many more have incorporated PGs messaging to help increase inclusiveness of outdoor spaces and I believe the public land hunting community would benefit as well. Surveys and research has demonstrated that anywhere between 10 and 25% of young people identify as LGBT+ or some other form of non tradition gender identity. Incorporating messaging to this group of young people is not only imperative for future public land advocacy but as a valuable demographic in sales and marketing.

PG has been a vocal supporter of federal workers during this dark period for the agencies that are entrusted with our public lands. For instance, PG was an important part of the protest regarding the unjust termination of Shannon Joslin for expressing 1st amendment rights on public land

Thank you as I saw you voiced your support for the 1st amendment related to the fascist incidents in MN.

Pattie Gonia has received many awards related to conservation and been recognized by friend of conservation former Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland. Secretary Haaland is likely going to be the next governor of NM and has a close working relationship with another friend of conservation and queer ally, Senator Martin Heinrich. This is the only link friendly video US Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and PG without downloads. Also is a TED talk which may be found on your tube as well. Many other videos are available on PGs work related to public land, conservation, indigenous communities, climate change, and more.

There is no doubt a long list of beneficial topics that could discussed including inclusivity and diversity. The current administration wants to destroy both of those things in addition to the legacy of our public lands. What better way to help stop them and throw a monkey wrench in their plans by bringing together the incredible power of the public land and queer communities.

I am not asking Randy to dress in drag and undertake a queer marketing campaign. I am suggesting that he have a discussion on his podcast with someone that has many things in common regarding public land and conservation and some different views. I am sure someone like Senator from Utah Mike Lee would be welcomed on the podcast if he wished to have such a discussion.

Pattie Gonia has already engaged with many prominent people and brands without issue. On the contrary, these meetings have been hugely successful. Furthermore, the message being promoted here is the same messaging of inclusivity that was promoted by the last administration. Public land for all. In contrast to the present administration that is trying to keep brown people from using public land.

How is the administration trying to prevent brown people from accessing public land? Honest question, I’m not trying to be dismissive.
