We celebrated Activist Appreciation Month this past February with heart-healing events to balance the heartbreaking animal abuse that many animal advocates witness on a daily basis. We featured virtual presentations, in-person events, and activist spotlights and remembered those we’ve lost with touching tributes. Watch our video reel of the highlights!

The theme evolved this year as our Los Angeles staff joined in animal rescues and suffered the tragic loss of loved ones during the Palisades Fire. Our programs honored heroic animal rescues and provided inspirational talks with experts on trauma exposure. Self-care guru and author of Age Like a Yogi Victoria Moran led a healing meditation.

Our activist spotlights celebrated the historic wins of Bujinlkham Erdenebat who helped pass the first animal rights law in Mongolia and Altamush Saeed who hosted the first animal rights conference in Pakistan, which we helped to sponsor. We also distributed life-saving funds as activist mini-grants to Sondu Vegan and Rakai Vulnerable Home Center in Africa.

If you missed any of the programs we shared, you can still access all of our replays and resources on the Activist Appreciation Month webpage.
