45 - Advocacy In Animal Sanctuary Spaces

Nonprofit Specialist Julia and Community Education Specialist Andie discuss animal sanctuaries' role as advocates. From a movement standpoint, sanctuaries are essential vectors of change when it comes to society's view of animals. In terms of education and even legal advocacy, sanctuaries do a great deal to change hearts and minds while supporting the compassionate care of animals. We talk about how sanctuary education accomplishes, how sanctuaries can lobby for legal change, and the constraints around legal advocacy. --- This Episode's Referenced Open Sanctuary Project Resources: In-Person Sanctuary Educational Programming: What Are Your Options? | The Open Sanctuary Project The Significance of Humane Education in a Sanctuary Setting | The Open Sanctuary Project An Introduction to Educational Programs and Opportunities Well-Suited for Microsanctuaries | The Open Sanctuary Project Fostering Empathy Towards Farmed Animals | The Open Sanctuary Project A Guide to Fostering Farmed Animal Agency in Sanctuary Education | The Open Sanctuary Project Lobbying | The Internal Revenue Service A Farm Sanctuary Tour's Effects On Intentions And Diet Change | Faunalytics --- You can learn more about our organization here!
