Objectives

We exist to end the abuse of animals raised for food by influencing the policies of the world’s biggest companies, demanding legislation, and empowering others to take action and leave animals off their plates.

We create real social change in collaboration with others. After all, this is a movement that’s bigger than ourselves.
So, we share resources. Train other nonprofit organisations. And, cultivate a welcoming, collaborative and change-making community.

That’s why in 2016 we created the Open Wing Alliance (OWA), a global coalition of organisations united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide.

Activities

The Humane League (THL) engages in a variety of programs designed to persuade individuals and organizations to adopt behaviors that reduce farmed animal suffering. THL’s largest programs, based on their budget, are their corporate campaigns and grassroots organizing. They encourage corporations to enact policies dictating higher animal welfare standards and they educate the public using outreach materials such as leaflets and online videos. Through their grassroots offices and campus leadership program, they recruit and train new animal advocates. THL also works to build the animal advocacy movement internationally through the Open Wing Alliance, which offers funding and training to advocacy groups interested in working on corporate campaigns.
