Your gift to the NhRP will go a long way to securing rights for nonhuman animals. Here’s what we’ve accomplished with your support in 2023: -
We expanded our unique work to new states and filed lawsuits on behalf of elephant clients in Colorado and Hawaii
- We continued our fight to Free The Fresno Elephants in the California Supreme Court, gaining amicus support from scientific experts, civil rights advocates, and legal scholars
-
We worked with the Ojai City Council to pass a local ordinance recognizing elephants’ right to bodily liberty in Ojai, CA—the first legislation in the US to recognize the legal right of a nonhuman animal
-
We partnered with New York City Council Member Shahana Hanif to introduce the first elephant captivity ban in the US, which would free Happy and Patty from the Bronx Zoo
- We launched a first-of-its-kind educational resource, Free To Be Elephants, which tracks and shares the stories of over 250 elephants imprisoned in the AZA zoo system
The momentum is on our side, and we’re making huge strides for nonhuman animals. All of this progress is possible thanks to your support. Will you help grow the movement for nonhuman animal rights in 2024? The funds we raise for Giving Tuesday will help fund even more legislation, litigation, and education campaigns to create a just future for animals in the coming year. And, every dollar will be matched—maximizing your impact for the NhRP. Thank you for helping us reach this goal, and for building a just future for nonhuman animals! |
