Dear friend,

Every day, we advocate for a more compassionate world for animals — one where cruelty-free choices and behaviors become a moral reflex and the norm.

This National Estate Planning Awareness Week, we invite you to take a meaningful step for yourself, your family, and the causes you care about. Making a will is an act of care that ensures your wishes are clear, your loved ones and pets are provided for, and your values for a more humane world are carried forward.

With our trusted partner FreeWill, you can create or update your will online at no cost. In just 20 minutes, you can:

• Choose trusted guardians for children and pets
• Name someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf, if you are unable to
• Protect your belongings, and name beneficiaries for assets outside of your will (e.g. IRA, 401k)
• Optionally, include a gift to help protect animals and end cruelty for years to come

When you make a plan, you provide peace of mind for yourself and for those you care about, both human and animal. And by choosing to include the Center for a Humane Economy in your will, you can invest in a future without animal cruelty in any part of our economy and culture.

With your support, we can prosecute individuals who hurt animals, end the slaughter of horses, create a cage-free future for pigs and hens, protect elephants and orcas, and so much more.

Start your will today and build a world that reflects your compassion for all.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle President Center for a Humane Economy
