We are using the fiasco with the GE chestnut tree known as D54/58, revealed in late 2023, as a concrete example of what can go wrong with genetically tinkering with trees, and it will be a key part of our ongoing work to stop future iterations of GE trees. GJEP has been working with the American Chestnut Cooperators Foundation, to support their work to breed and distribute 100% wild American chestnuts. Members of the Campaign to STOP GE Trees have become active volunteers with ACCF and are helping plant their blight tolerant wild American chestnuts across the eastern forests. This summer these volunteers planted 200 wild American chestnut trees at the New England Botanical Garden in Massachusetts.In May and June of 2023, GJEP organized and led a major 3 week delegation to Brazil to investigate and document the impacts of existing industrial eucalyptus plantations on Quilombola and indigenous communities there, and to explore the likely impacts of GE tree plantations, legalized there but not yet in use.Our delegation to Brazil led to more opportunities to organize against GE trees in Latin America. On July 28th, GJEP joined other experts for a nationwide Colombian TV and Radio broadcast on the social and ecological impacts of GE trees. The event was hosted by Colombia's National Commission for Indigenous Territories.New Moon Mycology Summit, August 9-13: GJEP spoke at the New Moon Mycology Summit in Vermont and organized two workshops: Genetically Engineered Trees Modified to Resist Fungi - What it Means for Forests & Mycorrhizal Fungi and False Solutions to Climate Change - Who Benefits, Who Suffers, & How to Get Involved 187557 Global Justice Media Program - Breaking Green - GJEP created ten Breaking Green Podcasts (breakinggreen.org) that reached thousands of people with information about local, national and international human rights and environmental issues that are often ignored or censored.

At the federal level, Standing Trees worked to ensure that US Forest Service logging projects in the Green and White Mountain National Forests adhered to federal laws by submitting technical comments, recruiting news stories, and educating the public and elected officials. Standing Trees also worked with partners across the US to shape the implementation of President Biden's Executive Order 14072, which directed the US Forest Service to inventory mature and old-growth forests on federal lands and develop policies to conserve those forests.At the state and local levels, Standing Trees submitted technical comments, recruited news stories, and educated the public and elected officials about the dangers of biomass electricity, as well as opportunities for improving long range management planning for state lands. Standing Trees also helped to pass and implement Act 59, a new Vermont law that sets ambitious goals for land conservation in the state, including a target for protecting approximately 10% of Vermont as "ecological reserves" to restore old-growth forests over time. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: New Hampshire PANTHER: From April 2023 untill March 2024, in summary of NH PANTHER's external activities, we distributed free screen printed art at five or more community events including New England BIPOCfest, launched the NH Community Resource Guide in tandem with our community partners, published an annual report for the prior year, completed a grant cycle for our Black Excellence Fund & Storytelling Project, distributing $15,000 to three individuals, launched our Poetry & Conversation Series with two themed events, and sponsored the Black Women in NH Social Club's Holiday Market. Internally, aside from operations, NH PANTHER initiated our ongoing Professional Development with MPact Consulting and attended one conference during this time period. Complete annual reports for NH PANTHER can be found here. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Honduras Now: Between April 2023 and March 2024, Honduras Now was involved in several activities related to our human rights and environmental justice and education work in Honduras. These include: Coalition building; educational delegations to Honduras; research, documentation and media work; and continuous work on two major projects: the accountability campaign during the Juan Orlando Hernndez drug trial in New York, and the Investor-State Dispute mechanism cases against Honduras. In 2023 and 2024, Honduras Now assisted several organizations based in the U.S. that conduct work in Honduras. Our role involves connecting these organizations to Honduran organizations, coalitions, and helping them to understand the local context to support the work they do in the U.S. Honduras Now also led and coordinated three educational delegations in-country, including a 17-person group of individuals from across North America in January 2024. Our research, documentation and media work consisted of historical archive work in western Honduras to help a mining-affected community understand its historical and ancestral rights to lands in the department of Copan, and the drafting of a petition to the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights for a political prisoner human rights case from 2018/2019. Our two major projects involved campaigning in the U.S. around issues of accountability as the former President of Honduras faced trial in New York on drug trafficking charges. In support of a broader coalition, Honduras Now attended the trial, put out regular updates and analysis, and provided English-Spanish interpretation for Honduran media that attended. Additionally, we began a large research project about the 15 active suits filed by corporations against the Honduran state and worked alongside communities affected by these suits, to document the impacts of these projects. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: Hoodwinked in the Hothouse: During the 2024 fiscal year, The Hoodwinked Collaborative continued to expand our work advocating against false solutions to climate change through education and movement building activities. This included continuing to distribute copies of our Hoodwinked in the Hothouse publication to grassroots activists through direct shipments and at major movement events, further expanding our digital reach through social media and a new monthly newsletter, hosting a webinar on Palestinian Liberation and Climate Justice, organizing a third virtual event in our Land and Liberation Roundtable discussion series among movement allies, hosting a False Climate Solutions workshop at the Protecting Mother Earth Conference, and building collaborations with and offering support to youth groups and frontline community organizations. We were able to keep expanding our work through grants and other fundraising work that allowed us to expand our staff capacity and fund new efforts.
