📰 In the News – Making Headlines with Purpose

#AmbassadorLivestock #FarmToLife #MediaWithAMessage #AgAdvocacy #FoodJustice #FarmsFoodFamiliesFreedom #LlamasForJustice

Over the years, the Ambassador Livestock Program of GTKYF Foundation Inc. has captured the attention of local and national media alike. Whether we’re walking livestock down Main Street or standing up for food sovereignty, our mission continues to make waves — and headlines.

From peaceful protests to public demonstrations, founder Ethan the Farmer has used his unique connection with livestock and poultry to raise awareness on critical social justice and agricultural issues — including opposition to GMOs, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and more. The goal? To amplify the core message of farms, food, families, and freedom.


🎥 Media Can’t Ignore Us – And That’s the Point

#PressForChange #FarmActivism #LlamasInTheStreets #NoSuchThingAsBadPress

Let’s face it — you can’t ignore a llama walking through downtown.

As we’ve taken our message to city streets, farmers markets, community events, and national protests, the media has taken notice. While not every outlet paints us in the most flattering light, we believe, as many have said:
“There’s no such thing as bad press.”

Every article, every news clip, and every photo has helped us spark conversation, challenge the norm, and push our message into the mainstream — locally, nationally, and even globally.

Whether the coverage is positive, skeptical, or somewhere in between, it’s all contributed to our growing visibility and continued impact.

From Humble Roots to a Nationwide Mission

#JustUsRiders #FarmToLife #VoicesForTheVoiceless #AnimalAmbassadors #PositiveActivism #SupportTheMission #GTKYF

What began with humble roots and a hopeful mindset in Denver, Colorado, has grown into a powerful and innovative movement — reaching people who might never otherwise engage with traditional social activism.

Today, we’re traveling the country full-time on the Just Us Riders – The Adventure Tour, using our animals and our presence to spark conversations, spread awareness, and be a voice for the voiceless.

We believe in changing lives through compassion, connection, and community. The joy and light our animals bring to people of all backgrounds — from city streets to rural backroads — is something truly special and deeply needed in these times.


💛 Help Us Keep the Mission Moving

We can’t do this without your support. Our work is made possible through the generosity of donors and sponsors who believe in a positive, impactful way to make a difference. Your contribution helps cover:

  • Animal care and rescue costs
  • Transportation and outreach logistics
  • Educational materials and community events
  • Expanding our reach to more communities in need

Every dollar helps keep us on the road — and keeps the animals doing what they do best: touching hearts and opening minds.

🧡 Please consider donating or becoming a sponsor today — and help us continue bringing the farm to life across the nation.
