My fundraiser for Xerces

Emily Martin

Please join in and protect invertebrates today!

Butterflies, bees, dragonflies, beetles, spiders, freshwater mussels and other invertebrates sustain life as we know it. Yet many are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and more. But there are steps that we can all take to help these vital animals and no action is too small. Please take a stand for invertebrates today by making a donation to my fundraiser. Your support means the world to me, thank you!

Inktober for Insects

Every October, I participate in the Inktober drawing challenge, posting a pen-and-ink drawing each day using the official Inktober prompts. This year, I wanted to put all that effort toward something beneficial. Everyone who donates at least $15 to the Xerces Society will receive a thank-you pack of one postcard print and two stickers featuring artwork from this year's Inktober challenge! | HOW TO GET YOUR ARTWORK: Once you have donated, you will receive an email with a link to enter your mailing address. This information won't be stored or shared with anyone else. If you don't see an email with the form within 24 hours, check your spam or junk folders. Artwork will be mailed out on October 15 and November 2.
