Pro-Animal Meetup

This week’s speaker, Jenn Werth, is the Director of U.S. Policy at the International Council for Animal Welfare (ICAW). ICAW focuses on advancing institutional animal welfare policy in key geographies globally. The organization engages with decision makers at large multinational companies as well as the general public to raise awareness about key evidence-based animal welfare priorities. Jenn will discuss the cutting edge campaign strategies ICAW is using to transform the way organizations pressure grocery store conglomerates and multinational companies to make progress for animals and how these new strategies are influencing the work of the animal welfare ecosystem globally.

Join your fellow animal lovers and DC Animal Protection to discuss what’s happening in the animal advocacy scene in DC! This series is a weekly meetup, with guest speakers from all of the major animals rights orgs. We’ll host non-profits such as Pro-Animal Future, International Council for Animal Welfare, DC Voters for Animals, The Humane League, Mercy for Animals and Direct Action Everywhere as well as local grassroots groups like the DC Coalition Against Foie Gras and sanctuaries. We’ll also have special sessions related to health, nutrition and mindfulness!

We encourage anyone who is interested in helping animals to attend- no need to be vegan! Come learn about our rich variety of local activism. With protests, outreach, wheat-pasting, signature collecting, leafletting, lobbying, tabling etc. there’s something to match everyone’s comfort level and skill set.

Coffee, bagels and community will be provided! Feel free to bring any extra treats to share (no animal products please.) Hope to see you soon! :)

Note: Unfortunately, animals are not allowed at our venue. Please leave your furry friends at home.
