Humane Lobby Day is an event sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States where citizen animal advocates like you gather to learn and practice lobbying for animal protection laws at the state level. It is a full-day event including a lobbying workshop and an overview of relevant bills in your state legislature. Appointments are made for you with your state legislators so that you can meet with them (or their staff) face to face and ask for animal-friendly votes. Click on your state to RSVP.

Citizens Just Like You
Maureen Howard had cold feet before attending last year's Humane Lobby Day in New York, but reported that she had a great experience and will likely do it again. Thanks to her and her fellow Lobby Day attendees, Senator Patty Ritchie promised that she would table her Ag Gag bill. And the very next day, Sen. Ritchie pushed our Animal Fighting Paraphernalia bill to passage in the Senate, which is now law!
