Action eAlerts
The many accomplishments on behalf of animals that the Animal Welfare Institute has achieved since 1951 could not have happened without the committed involvement of people like you…People willing to take time out of their own busy lives to speak out for the animals who cannot speak for themselves. Members of Congress need to hear from their constituents. The President needs to hear from voters. Governors and state legislators and judges and prosecutors need to hear from citizens who want the system to work better to protect animals. Newspapers and blogs and other media must hear from their audiences so that they know these issues matter and people are paying attention.Join us in our work.
