Dear John,

There are many pathways to improve the lives of animals, but one of the most powerful of them involves our work to push corporations to honor the principle of humane treatment.

This is the way we can scale up our work.

But we cannot drive reform among global brands in the athletic shoe sector (with our Kangaroos Are Not Shoes campaign), pharmaceuticals (Modernize Testing), or agriculture (Cage-Free Future) without resources to take on these fights.

We’re fighting today, but we are also looking down the road. And we hope you are, too.

August is National Make-A-Will Month. This observance is an opportunity for you to look at the plans you have in place and begin your legacy to create the future you wish to see. With our partner, FreeWill, you can:

• Write your will online in just 20 minutes, creating a document to protect the people and causes you love the most.
• Organize your beneficiaries for additional assets, such as a 401(k) and life-insurance policies.

If you have already included Center for a Humane Economy in your estate plans, please let us know so we can thank you for your generosity.

While using FreeWill, you can pledge to make a gift to the Center for a Humane Economy in the future. Down the road, this will enable us to continue to help billions of animals affected by public and private companies.

Whatever you decide for your plans, ensure that your influence extends beyond your lifetime by creating your will online.

With gratitude,

Wayne Pacelle President Center for a Humane Economy
