Dear John,
Join us for a brand-new webinar this May! The Animal Legal Defense Fund is offering four webinars on topics ranging from factory farming to current federal legislation.
Impact Report with Stephen Wells (Quarter One 2020)
The beginning of 2020 was a busy time for the Animal Legal Defense Fund! Join Stephen Wells, Executive Director, and Lora Dunn, Criminal Justice Program Director, as they discuss current cases and projects, plus what’s planned for the rest of the year, with special focus on the Criminal Justice Program.
Lobbying 101: Advocacy in a New Era
Animals can’t vote, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a voice in the political process—you can give animals that voice! Kathy Schatzmann, Senior Legislative Affairs Manager, will walk you through the basics of how to connect with your representatives and lobby for animal protection legislation.
Factory Farms: Generating Environmental Injustice in North Carolina 2020 – May 12th
Industrial animal agriculture is responsible for animal suffering, pollution, and a range of environmental impacts, but government at most levels decline to regulate this industry. Learn about the carefully-carved legal loopholes that allow factory farms to operate with limited protections for animals, the environment, or surrounding communities, and about how residents—and others—are fighting back.
Federal Legislation: Current Issues & New Ideas
What kind of legislation has been introduced in Congress to stop animal cruelty? What can we do to make sure it gets passed into law? In this webinar, Alicia Prygoski, Legislative Affairs Manager, will address the shortcomings for animal protection in current federal law, give an overview of pending legislation, and discuss what we’d like to see introduced in the future. We’ll cover bills designed to protect captive wildlife, endangered species, companion animals, farmed animals, and more. A Q&A will follow.
All webinars are available to stream shortly after airing and always free to watch.
I hope you can join us!
