Advocacy
You can be the animals' voice
There are endless ways to help the Animal Legal Defense Fund in our mission to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals. Advocacy comes in many different forms, so no matter who you are, there’s a path to action for you! We’ve assembled information and tools you can use to effectively communicate with law enforcement, veterinarians, legislators, and your community about the animal issues that are important to you.
Spread the word and amplify key issues by joining ROAR – our social media ambassador program. ROAR members commit to sharing posts every week about the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s work, including Action Alerts, and news about animal law and animal protection.
