Seriously! I’m still basking in the glow from New Year’s Eve, when this community came together to drive in more than $600,000 for the animals before the stroke of midnight. To make things even sweeter, every one of those donations will be matched.
These generous gifts will directly fuel our work to drive legislative progress for animals, hold corporations accountable for abuse, and continue building a powerful grassroots movement in 2024.
But there’s even more good news.
I know I promised you an update on our ambitious goal to spare 6.7 million hens from cages in 2023. Changemakers like you spent the year relentlessly demanding better for hens—driving in more than 283,000 actions to companies with the power to end the extreme confinement of animals.
It’s an absolute thrill to share that you didn’t just spare 6.7 million hens…
For a chick born into the egg industry, the difference between facing life in a cage and life outside one is monumental. It’s the difference between a life packed tightly between other hens—never stretching, barely able to move, day after day—and finally feeling the relief of stretching out her wings.
We have so much further to go for animals. But today, I hope you take a moment to feel proud of just how far we’ve come—thanks to you.
Cheers to a new year full of promise, hope, and endless possibility.
For the animals,
