Victory for Conservation & America’s Sporting Traditions
Oregon’s extreme Initiative Petition 28 (IP 28), also known as the PEACE Act, has officially ❌failed❌ to qualify for the November 2026 ballot.
This Petition threatened to criminalize lawful hunting, fishing, trapping, livestock production, and science-based wildlife management practices—putting decades of conservation success at risk.
For years, the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation has worked alongside conservation, sporting, and agricultural partners to oppose every iteration of this proposal.
Today’s outcome is a win for hunters, anglers, trappers, farmers, ranchers, and everyone who believes in the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.
While we celebrate this victory, our work doesn’t stop here. CSF remains committed to defending our sporting traditions and ensuring wildlife policy continues to be guided by sound science - not emotion.
