Hey—as promised, I wanted to follow up with a sneak peek of our progress toward sparing 6.7 million hens from battery cages. Here’s the data, reflecting our progress so far in 2023, from our teams leading our outreach to corporations and public campaigns:
We knew this plan was ambitious. But this data shows that we’ll need to pull out all the stops to make it happen ... I wanted to remind you that two generous donors are backing this goal—matching ALL gifts that come in before midnight tonight. Even better, they’re matching all new monthly gifts for the first three months.
This incredible giving opportunity ends in just a few hours. Will you consider making a gift before midnight to help protect millions of animals from life in a cage?
If we can reach this goal, we’ll prove it’s possible to make sweeping changes across our food system. In other words, this isn’t just the end of cages. It’s the beginning of a better world for all animals.
I know we can do this!
–Alison

Hi there,
10,000 hours.
Hour after hour, the sharp wire cuts into her sensitive feet and rubs against her raw patches of skin.
Hour after hour, she is jostled and shoved by her cage-mates, all desperately clamoring for space.
Hour after hour, the polluted air stings her eyes. The sounds of suffering fill her ears. She can’t bear it, but the hours stretch on.
It’s why we set an incredibly ambitious goal for this year: To spare 6.7 million hens from the horrors of life in a battery cage. (Stay tuned for an update—our corporate team is crunching the numbers right now, and I’ll reveal how much progress we’ve made later today!)
Thanks to two passionate donors who were inspired by this goal, every single gift we receive before June 30 will be matched—and new monthly gifts will be matched for the first three months. But this incredibly generous offer is about to expire.
This is about more than 6.7 million hens. This is about dealing the egg industry a historic blow—one that proves our movement can’t, and won’t, be ignored.
10,000 hours. Multiplied by 6.7 million hens.
Are you with us?
