Julie Marshall

Julie Marshall (MJour’95) initiated a ballot measure for the state of Colorado to end trophy hunting of mountain lions and fur trapping of bobcats. The effort now has the endorsement of more than 80 organizations, including the Colorado Sierra Club. As a homegrown journalist, Marshall has covered this issue for 30 years, including as a former opinion editor for the Boulder Daily Camera. She recently won first place for her lion columns from the Colorado Press Association. The campaign is called “Cats Aren’t Trophies,” and the website is www.catsarenttrophies.org. She encourages everyone to sign up and volunteer. Colorado voters will decide on the issue during the upcoming November election. Marshall is a public relations director for Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy, based in Washington, D.C.
