Im Rian! I'm on the Goldendale directory under Riley Melton (if anyone needs to reach me) but my preferred name is Rian. It is pronounced Ry-an (I've been called Ree-an before so) and I go by any pronouns but I generally prefer She/They. I currently don't have Gmail :( my interests are crocheting, listening to all types of music, writing novels, and reading fantasy. I joined because I've been interested in social problems we face in today's modern world for a few years and most of the essays I've written have been about solving these problems (e.g animal testing and how we can reduce it) and yeah I wanted to support Sarrafina by joining too. anywho that's all I have to say!

Hello everyone most of you probably already know me but for those who do not. My names is Joshua, (Joh-Shoe-uh), and don't have any preferred pronouns (but he/him usually does fine). My Gmail for those of you who might want to reach out to me is ahlerjoshua@gmail.com. I like gaming, volunteer work, cooking, and sleep (haha), I joined this because i think we really can make a difference in the world with this club. People usually don't know how to pull off these huge goals. They just have an idea but then can't pull any plan on how to make it true. But this club that Sarafina has put together might actually complete those big tasks that everyone thinks of but doesn't do. We got this everyone!

Here is my candidacy Speech:

I am honored to stand before you today as a candidate for the position of Secretary of the Environmental and Humane Council. My name is Joshua Ahlers, and I am deeply committed to promoting environmental sustainability and humane practices that protect both our planet and its inhabitants.

In today’s world, we face critical challenges that threaten the health of our environment and the well-being of all living beings. From climate change to habitat destruction, and from pollution to animal welfare, it is our collective responsibility to address these issues with urgency and compassion. As Secretary, I am dedicated to advancing this mission with unwavering commitment, integrity, and a clear vision for a sustainable and humane future.

My Vision:

1. Environmental Stewardship: Protecting our environment is paramount. I will work tirelessly to promote sustainable practices that reduce our ecological footprint and preserve natural resources for future generations. By advocating for policies that prioritize renewable energy, conservation, and waste reduction, we can create a healthier planet for all.

2. Humane Treatment of Animals: The welfare of animals is a reflection of our humanity. I will lead initiatives to ensure that animals are treated with respect and compassion. This includes advocating for stronger animal protection laws, promoting cruelty-free practices, and supporting organizations that rescue and rehabilitate animals in need.

3. Education and Awareness: Raising awareness about environmental and humane issues is crucial. I will spearhead educational campaigns that inform and inspire individuals and communities to take action. By fostering a culture of environmental and humane consciousness, we can empower people to make positive changes in their daily lives.

4. Collaboration and Innovation: Addressing the complex challenges we face requires collaboration and innovative solutions. I will build partnerships with organizations, governments, and individuals who share our commitment to environmental and humane causes. Together, we can develop and implement innovative programs that address the unique needs of different regions and communities.

5. Support and Resources: Providing support and resources to those in need is essential. I will work to ensure that our council offers comprehensive support services, including environmental education, humane advocacy, and community outreach. By creating a robust support network, we can help individuals and communities thrive while protecting our planet and its inhabitants.

My Commitment:

As Secretary, I will bring a strong sense of purpose and dedication to this role. I am committed to listening to the voices of our members and ensuring that their perspectives are at the forefront of our efforts. I will work diligently to uphold the values of transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in all our initiatives.

In closing, I believe that together, we can create a world where environmental sustainability and humane practices are the norm. I humbly ask for your support and trust as we embark on this important journey. Let us unite in our shared commitment to safeguarding the future of our planet and all its inhabitants.

Thank you.
