I know it’s hard to think about millions of chicks who are born into a life of suffering on factory farms. But today, on this day of giving, I hope you’ll join me in thinking about them. 

Trapped in tiny “battery cages,” their little feet will never know soft grass; only painfully sharp wire. They’ll never breathe fresh air; only the thick stench of dust and ammonia. Because of the factory farming industry, millions of chicks are born into a life where they can’t even stretch their wings.

But you know what? Because of you—because of us—millions of chicks are now born into a life where they can. 

You and I both know that chickens, cows, and pigs deserve so much better than the horrors of factory farms. And battery cages are one of the cruelest inventions ever inflicted upon animals. 

Ten years ago, only 6% of hens were spared from these archaic cages. Today, that number has skyrocketed to 39%—all because this community has successfully pressured some of the world’s biggest corporations to end the abuse. 

We won't stop until every hen can stretch her wings. And that means thinking big. So we’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $50,000 for hens, today alone. Your gift will directly fuel this fight to eliminate cruel cages from the face of the planet.

Some things are simply wrong. And confining animals to tiny, miserable cages is one of them. Together, I know we can end battery cages for good. And by doing it, we can prove that it's possible to enact sweeping, compassionate change in our food system. 

This isn’t just the end of cages—it’s the beginning of a new era for animals. Are you with us?

Toward a kinder future for all beings,
