Deborah “Debbie” Bacigalupi is a sixth-generation California rancher, public speaker, avid researcher, and longtime activist for Siskiyou County and rural America.

Debbie serves as Vice President of Education for American Agri-Women, Vice President of the Siskiyou County chapter of Back Country Horsemen, and a member of the Little Shasta Elementary School Board. In these roles, she supports and defends agricultural education, rural traditions, youth development, animal ownership, and the great outdoors.

In 2012, Bacigalupi ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in the San Francisco Bay Area, campaigning on issues important to rural Northern California, including private property rights, support for family agriculture, and concerns about international agendas she believes erode freedom and liberty.

For more than 16 years, Debbie has researched and spoken about global environmental governance and policies associated with UN Agenda 21 Sustainable Development (also known as “sustainability”) and related initiatives such as 30x30, “Nature-Based Solutions,” “Rights of Nature,” the “Stolen Land Movement,” cap-and-trade, and the Endangered Species Act. She maintains that these ideologies threaten private property rights, local control of land and resources, the future of rural communities, and individual liberty.

As part of this work, Debbie has attended more than a dozen United Nations conferences around the world, including major international climate meetings, to witness, protest, and report on these initiatives firsthand. On multiple occasions, she has confronted prominent politicians who authored related legislation (for example, 1992’s H.Con.Res. 353), criticizing what she views as their anti-freedom and anti-liberty positions.

Debbie has been featured in several documentaries addressing these topics and has co-created four documentaries examining issues such as wolves, Klamath River dam removal, water policy, and radical environmentalism, as well as their impact on rural communities, land management, and agriculture. She has also been an invited speaker, keynote speaker, panelist, and radio and podcast guest at nearly 100 events, and has been featured in numerous newspaper articles over the years.
