Explore our policy campaigns below and learn what it means to advocate for animals.

Octopus

Bear in cage.

Support the Animal Welfare Enforcement Improvement Act

In the US, sick elephants suffer for years without veterinary care, highly social lemurs are kept isolated, and bears are held in rusty cages. Protect these animals by asking your US representative to cosponsor this bill.
