Hi there! 

It can be hard to avoid doom-and-gloom thinking when it comes to the fate of our beautiful planet. Temperatures are rising. Glaciers are melting. And our industrial food system doesn’t just abuse countless animals on a daily basis—it’s also polluting our waterways and uprooting our forests.

But then I remember how powerful we are when we take collective action to uplift compassion—for the animals and for the planet. And I think ahead to the bright future we’re building together, day by day. 

I’m sending this video to you because it shares a powerful message from that better future—and it really inspires me to live in hope for the world we’re creating.

However you’re celebrating this day of action for our amazing planet, I am so grateful for you. Thank you for leading with care and lighting the way ahead. 

For the animals, and for the planet,

Michelle Kucerak Senior VP, Programs and Development
