John,
Hyper-intelligent octopuses trapped in barren, cramped tanks with no
stimulation. They try to escape again and again, but there’s no way
out. Just a slow, miserable death on a factory farm.
This cruel scene is quickly becoming reality as seafood giants race to
open octopus farms to maximise their profits off one of Earth’s most
intelligent and sensitive animals. But right now could be a turning
point…if we move incredibly quickly.
New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina have all introduced bills to ban
octopus farming – and now, at the federal level, the OCTO Act has been
reintroduced in the US Congress.
The factory farm lobby is in an all out sprint to push lawmakers to
quietly kill these bills behind closed doors. Which is why Ekō has a plan
to build unstoppable momentum for the bans, in the US and around the
world. We’re ready to go with ads, billboards, and polling to unleash
massive, strategic public pressure to defend our natural world – but we
can’t do it without your support.
Will you chip in now to fund our mega-campaign to ban octopus farming –
and protect all animals from exploitation?

Millions of octopuses could soon be kept in tiny tanks, mutilated, and
slaughtered in horrific ways.
This slate of state bills is proof that the public is NOT on board with
this cruel treatment of these amazing creatures. But the factory farming
lobby is incredibly powerful – and they’re banking on the public not
paying attention.
Our first test will be in New Jersey, where lawmakers are gearing up for a
key vote in just weeks. We only need a handful of swing votes to win – and
with your urgent support we could:
* Run a full-page ad in one of New Jersey’s biggest newspapers to shine
a spotlight on this historic vote;
* Deploy mobile billboards to surround a key committee during its next
hearing to ensure lawmakers can’t ignore public outrage;
* Run targeted polling and digital ads aimed at exactly the right
decision-makers and districts;
* Install billboards outside the homes of swing-vote senators who are
still on the fence.
If we win, it would send a shockwave through the industry and build
unstoppable momentum behind a national ban, setting a powerful precedent
worldwide. But we don’t have much time.
Together we could launch a hard-hitting campaign in New Jersey and across
the United States that lawmakers cannot ignore – but it will take
thousands of us chipping in just a little bit. Can you help fuel this
mega-push to stop octopus farming and save all our most precious,
brilliant creatures?
