About the campaign
The Save Our Elephants From Extinction campaign is a nonpartisan national security mandate urging the White House to issue a National Security Directive closing the federal "antique" ivory loophole.
Media Contact
- Jen Samuel: Founder of Elephants DC, investigative journalist, and endangered species advocate who has testified extensively before federal and state committees. She is the architect of Save Our Elephants From Extinction's blueprint and Executive Order petition to the White House to close the 'antique' ivory sales loophole left wide open by the Obama Administration. Each instance a piece of ivory is bought or sold perpetuates the need for another elephant to be killed.
The Champion
- Raymond Lesniak: Former Senator in New Jersey (1983–2018), legislative champion of the nation's gold standard ivory ban in 2014, and now champion of the National Security Mandate in 2026. Led groundbreaking causes to finish line, creating a lasting cultural impact in New Jersey, during tenue as senator from ending the death penalty to banning puppy mills. Raymond Lesniak is leading this national security mandate directly to the White House, urging the President to issue a National Security Directive adopting the zero-loophole New Jersey model as the absolute federal baseline.
