The nonprofit premiered its first short film "Pigs and Pathogens: What's On Your Plate? Rather, WHO's on your plate?" about the warfare against pigs and the public health risks of animal industries, which are among the most dangerous breeding grounds of zoonotic infectious diseases and are directly linked to the production and consumption of animals. Our esteemed guests included the acclaimed Marc Bekoff, Jeff Sebo, Dana Ellyn, Annie Potts, Claudia Hirtenfelder, Steve Decker, and the celebrated Esther the Wonder Pig. 0 3666 "Revealing Hidden Worlds: Art, Animals, and Advocacy," presented extraordinary animal-rights artists Bubi the Bear (Germany), Julia Denos (Massachusetts), Carol Gigliotti (Oregon), Shannon Johnstone (New Zealand), EvaMarie Lindahl (Sweden), Maria Martelli of Just Wondering (Romania), Laura Jean McKay (Australia), and Michelle Waters (California), hosted by Annie Potts (New Zealand), which had a remarkable impact upon audiences, from testimonials about forswearing ever eating animals again to removing one's blinders about the hidden, harrowing lives of more-than-human animals to wanting to collaborate with us. 0 3423 We issued a $535 grant to Save the Dogs in Ukraine to help 1,025 Ukrainian refugees' companions, which included providing leashes, collars, food, jackets, and carriers. We awarded $500 grant to Tailed Banda in Ukraine to provide much-needed medical supplies for one year to 17 dogs in Ukraine's most heavily impacted war zones. We awarded a $500 personal grant to Cindy Machado, animal-rights champion, for support of cancer treatment. 1535 X 0 Engaging Web Presence: To amplify our message and reach, we have launched a new website showcasing our live-streamed panels, films, and blogs, which range in subject matter from animal victims of war in Ukraine and Israel to the wonder of a family of toads living in a pond to the majesty of octopuses and campaigning against a proposed commercial octopus farm in the Canary Islands. Regular monthly newsletters keep our supporters updated on our progress and upcoming initiatives. This online presence serves as a central hub for knowledge-sharing and engagement with our cause. 0 5613 Building Community through Social Media: We recognize the tremendous significance of social media in building a robust community around our mission. Utilizing various platforms, we share our films, stories, and artwork, encouraging and inspiring participation and lively and meaningful discussions. In 2023, our video content was played over 58,486 times by approximately 49,690 unique people. Additionally, we collaborate with scholars and artists and activists to host live-streamed arts panels, enriching the dialogue and connecting with a wider audience. Through social media engagement, we continuously expand our reach and stir audiences into action on behalf of other animals, fighting against the everyday exploitation, cruelty, and atrocities toward a multispecies future, where every individual lives a life of freedom. 0 3696 Dairy-Free Campaign Pledge: We created a series of videos asking followers and members to sign our dairy-free-just-one-day-a-week pledge to promote reduced animal consumption. During the four-week campaign, we acknowledged efforts of those choosing to be dairy-free by giving away books, art, and other small gifts. We asked everyone to sign even if they were already dairy-free to add their powerful voice to our burgeoning movement. 0 946 17344 Robin S Dorman President 25.00 4000 0 0 Tenzin Thosam Treasurer 8 0 0 0 Melba Pattillo Beals Secretary 2 0 0 0 Gina DeVito Board Member 8 0 0 0 Richard Jensen Board Member 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Robin S Dorman 12 Flemings Court Sausalito CA 94965 4158555606 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 14128 7016 26789 11412 2723 62068 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14128 7016 26789 11412 2723 62068 62068 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 62068 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 We provided grants to support animals struggling in Ukraine ($535 for Save the Dogs and $500 for Tailed Banda).
